Change to pass/fail score reporting for Step 1
There is big news in medical education this week. The National Board of Medical Examiners has announced that Step 1 will become a Pass/Fail scored standardized test. This will not occur before January, 2022 and there will be a limited number of times students will be allowed to take the exam. Step 2 scores will remain numeric and will be available to be utilized in the residency selection process.
