USMLE is the most important step towards your dream in a medical career. Here are few questions you need to ask before registering for the same.
- Am I eligible?
Check out your eligibility criteria from the USMLE website. You can get detailed information and make sure you satisfy all these requirements before paying for Registration.
- Which registration entity I fall under?
Depending on whether you graduate from a US/Canada AOA accredited medical program or elsewhere, the way you apply changes a little. Get this fact right and proceed with registration through the right entity.
- Do I need any special accommodation?
If you fall under the disabilities category, you can check for special accommodations that the USMLE board will provide you.
- Have I chosen the right exam date?
Once you decide and choose an exam date, it is not easy to change it. It takes time, money and some effort for you to request for rescheduling. Ensure you take some time to decide on a month and date of giving the exam and then proceed with the USMLE step 1 registration.
- Do I know the dos and don’ts before I submit the application?
The latest bulletin of information gives you all details on what you should and should not do while filling the USMLE step 1 application. Always keep it as a reference.
Ask all these questions, take some time and submit a completed, right Application to avoid last minute confusions.
