Is student passing MBBS from Koppal institute of medical study eligible for USMLE?
The exam comes with multiple stages to be cleared.
The first part, USMLE step 1, is a multiple choice exam consisting
of about 300 questions taken over eight hours in one day at the test
center. The step 1 covers all of the basic sciences - Anatomy ,
Biochemistry , Physiology , statistics, Behavioural science,
Microbiology , Pharmacology , Pathology , ethics .The percentage required
to pass is determined based not on a population curve, but on the
relative difficulty of the items as determined by the test
committee.
The second part is divided into two parts, USMLE step 2ck
(clinical knowledge) and USMLE step 2cs (clinical skills). USMLE step 2ck
consists of a similar one day computer based examination, and covers
all of the clinical sciences including medicine, surgery,
Paediatrics , obstetrics and Gynaecology , Psychiatry , forensics,
emergency care, ENT , Ophthalmology , tropical health, ethics.The USMLE step 2cs is an
examination held in only America throughout the
year. It brings examinees face-to-face with ten simulated
('standardized') patients - ie actors pretending to have specific
complaints. You are tested on your ability to rapidly assess a
patient, communicate your thoughts to them, and to write a note
about your assessment and plans
USMLE step 3: International students only need to take the USMLE part 3 if they
plan to immigrate on a H-1B visa. This exam
is only given in the United States, requiring you to travel there to
take it. It is largely similar in scope to the USMLE step 2 with
more emphasis on practical management.
