USMLE Tutoring Service

What is the USMLE exam?

The USMLE exam, also known as the United States Medical Licensing Exam, is the licensing exam series that is taken for anyone who wishes to practice medicine in the United States. There are multiple exams that need to be taken and passed, which include USMLE Step 1, USMLE Step 2, and USMLE Step 3. The exams are created to test the student knowledge, understanding, and application of medical concepts needed to be able to practice medicine. The USMLE Step 1 exam is usually taken after the first 2 years of medical school, or after the basic sciences is completed. The USMLE Step 2 is usually taken after the 3rd year of medical school after a full year of clinical rotations are completed. When applying for residency, USMLE Step 1 and USMLE Step 2 are considered highly in the factors for admission. USMLE Step 3 is usually taken during residency, but if you are already a graduate from medical school you can take it before starting residency and can help for admission.
