READINESS — CURRENT EXAM EMPHASIS

USMLE Step 1 currently assigns 6-9% to Social Sciences: Communication and Interpersonal Skills. Step 2 CK assigns 10-15% to Legal/Ethical Issues & Professionalism/Systems-based Practice & Patient Safety. COMLEX Level 1 explicitly assesses patient care/procedural skills, communication, professionalism and systems-based practice. School OSCEs remain the main direct test of hands-on Year 1 skills.

PROFESSIONAL / CLINICAL-TRANSFER MASTERY GATE

  • Ready means you can gather accurate data, explain what you are doing, protect safety/privacy, synthesize the encounter, communicate uncertainty, escalate appropriately and defend why an alternative response would be less safe or less patient-centered.
  • Use school OSCE/faculty feedback as the primary competence signal; use board questions to test judgment and communication principles, not to substitute for supervised performance. VIDEO-FIRST | SCHOOL-EXAM + BOARD-EXAM MASTERY
