So, you want to practice medicine<\/a> or run a medical business in the United States? It will not be easy. There is a particular process you need to go through to start a medical business in the United States, and one of the most important parts of this process is getting your USMLE transcript. But before we dive into that, let us try to understand what is USMLE first.<\/p>\n

What is USMLE<\/h2>\n

USMLE stands for “United States Medical License Examination”. It is a three-step examination process for medical licensure in the United States which should be taken by any physician who is interested in pursuing a medical career in the United States. The USMLE scores prove your eligibility in practicing medicine in the United States. The exam is mandatory for all foreign-trained doctors to start a legal medicine career in the country.<\/p>\n

Score Information<\/h3>\n

The total score of USMLE is determined by the number of questions for each part. The examinees for the USMLE need to get the minimum passing scores of:<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 194 for Step 1<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 209 for Step 2<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 196 for Step 3<\/p>\n

After passing the USMLE,\u00a0 you become eligible for residency or fellowship in some of the hospitals in the United States. Previously, USMLE scores were calculated differently – the passing mark was 75 for Step 1 at that time, but it has been changed, effective April 2013. The scoring system was amended by the Federation of State Medical Board (FSMB) and National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME). The reason for this change, as stated by NBME and FSMB, is based on the Comprehensive Basic Science Self-Assessment (CBSSA).<\/p>\n
