Test Overview

Step 3 focuses primarily on patient management (45-55% of the questions). Multiple patient cases are used to assess your ability to evaluate patient history and physical examination information, order diagnostic tests, select initial therapies, and manage the patient as he/she responds to your clinical interventions.

The Step 3 patient cases allow simulation of physician/patient encounters in a variety of settings. You manage the case without prompting, typing in a variety of diagnostic and treatment options.

The software recognizes thousands of possible entries that you can type into the order sheet and is programmed with results for any intervention or test you choose.

Test Format

  • 2-day computerized examination

  • 500 multiple-choice items administered over the first day and a half of testing. These items deal with clinical situations typically encountered by a generalist physician

  • The exam concludes with a half-day consisting of approximately 9 open-ended computer-based case simulations (CCS)

  • There are three question formats used in the multiple-choice sections of Step 3: Single Best Answer, Multiple Item Sets and Case Clusters

  • This exam must be taken in the U.S.

USMLE Step 3

Unlike the Step 1 and Step 2 examinations, the individual state medical boards administer the Step 3 eligibility requirements. Application procedures vary among the states. You should request information directly from the medical board of the state where you wish to work, or from the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSME).

Note that most of the states have designated the Federation as the initial contact for Step 3 application information.
