USMLE GRADUATION REQUIREMENT POLICY
Effective with the entering class of Fall 2014, MD students must take the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1 and Step 2 (CK & CS) exams as part of the standard set of graduation requirements for the MD degree. In May 2020 the USMLE Step 2 CS exam was suspended and subsequently discontinued; therefore, students who matriculated 2014 or after are no longer required to take USMLE Step 2 CS.
