USMLE is a standardized examination used to evaluate
applicants’ competence for purposes of medical licensure in the United States
and its territories. The USMLE is designed to assess a physician’s ability to apply
knowledge, concepts, and principles, and to demonstrate fundamental
patient-centered skills, that constitute the basis of safe and effective
patient care. USMLE is accepted by virtually all licensing boards in the US as
evidence of competence to practice medicine in the US. State medical boards
rely upon successful completion of the three USMLE
component exams, or “Steps,” as an important element in the process for
licensing physicians. Because of the test’s importance to the public’s safety
and to examinees, maintaining its fairness and integrity is a priority for the
NBME.
