How do UW School of Medicine and Public Health students perform on the National Board Examinations?
Ninety-two to 98 percent of students pass the United States Medical Licensing Exam Step 1 on their first attempt. Students are given three attempts to pass this exam, and nearly 100 percent of our students ultimately pass Step 1. Ninety-eight to 100 percent of students pass the Step 2 exam. Multiple board preparation programs are offered, including faculty reviews, study groups with fourth-year students, practice exams, and one-on-one counseling to improve test-taking and time-management skills and to control test anxiety.
