Step 2 CS Changes

In 2004, a team was created to initiate a multi-year, comprehensive review of the USMLE program. This team, called the Composite Committee, is comprised of the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME), the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) and the American public.

Last month this team announced some "enhancements" to Step 2 CS that are scheduled to start the middle of this year. Here is a summary of those changes. Updated practice materials for Step 2 CS will be posted to the USMLE website in March 2012.
