MEDICAL RESIDENCY APPLICATIONS AND USMLE
The Step 1 score is frequently used in medical residency applications as a measure of a candidate's likelihood to succeed in that particular residency (and on that specialty's board exams). More competitive residency programs usually accept applications with higher Step 1 scores. The Step 1 exam is the hardest and most important examination a medical student will take during his/her career.
Step 2 assesses whether you can apply medical knowledge, skills, and understanding of clinical science essential for the provision of patient care under supervision and includes emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention. Step 2 ensures that attention is devoted to principles of clinical sciences and patient-centered skills that provide the basis for the safe and competent practice of medicine.

A principal organizing dimension for Step 3 design is normal conditions and disease categories. Second and third organizing dimensions are the clinical encounter frame and physician tasks.
