STEP 3 USMLE

STEP 3 USMLE

Step 3 of the USMLE is the final part of the exam. Step 3 will test the student's ability to work in an unsupervised environment. Students must apply their knowledge of biomedical and clinical science to manage and assist patients in an ambulatory setting as well as display their ability to handle some scenarios involving inpatient encounters. Because students will become independent physicians, it is crucial to ensure that students have obtained sound knowledge and practical skills that can be applied when treating patients.

This part of the exam will have two basic dimensions:

1) The clinical encounter and

2) The physician task.
