The Diminishing Gap in USMLE Scores Amongst Neurosurgery Residency Applicants
The data associated with this publication are not available for this reason: N/A
Abstract
Neurological surgery is a historically challengingspecialty to match into, with match rates of 65%. With the USMLE Step 1 exam now graded on a pass/fail basis, there is piqued interest in whether Step 2 will become the “new” Step 1 as a factor to assess candidates for competitive specialties such asneurosurgery. To date, there is no literature that describes the differences in Step 2 scores between matched and unmatched allopathic seniors and how these differences have changed through time.
