USMLE
The USMLE is an exam that anyone practising medicine in the US has to sit for . It's basically to get your license to practise medicine .
a system of 3 steps, in each step u set 4 an exam, the 1st step is in basic sceince( academic) so u can do it before u go 2 the hospital, (better), the 2nd step is clinical ( written exam in the clinical subjects), after that u set for the 3rd step,
this allows u to go for ur postgraduate study in US
STEP ONE -
Anatomy , Physiology , Biochemistry , Genetics , Behavioral medicine , Statistics , Microbiology( including parasitology) , Ethics , Pathology , Pharmacology , Histology , Immunology, Molecular biology , Epidemiology .
It is a test in basic sciences but what everyone needs to realize is the exam is from a CLINICAL point of view
Most of the questions are basically cases so you need some clinical back ground.
The exam is an 8 hour exam -its about 350 questions - 50 questions each block
STEP TWO - CK ( Clinical Knowledge)
Internal medicine , Surgery ( including subspecialities as ENT , Ophthalmology , Trauma) , Psychiatry , Pediatrics , OB/Gyn, Epidemiology , Ethics , Statistics .
We can easily say that 90% of the questions are cases requiring things as diagnostic tests , DD or things relating to reaching a diagnosis and broad treatment measures or treatment measures that are life saving, the exam is 9 hours - around 400 quesitons
Here is a list of the books that you can use:
- Internal medicine :
#Current medical diagnosis and treatement is a good reference , it is a big book and cant be actually done before the exam unless you're still in medical school

#blue prints in internal medicine
#kaplan study notes

internal medicine is 80% of the exam so this should be your main concentration

- Psychiatry
#BRS in psychiatry ( board review series)
# kaplan notes - they are identical
-Gyn/Ob
#BRS or Kaplan
-Surgery and subspecialities
kaplan notes are more than enough for the exam , surgery in the USMLE is mainly trauma and scenarios that want you to act right in life and death situations
- Pediatrics
#Blueprints or Kaplan
-Statistics/epidemiology/ethics
kaplan....it's short and to the point...all you need for the exam
it's a must that you find the new Kaplan question bank because it tells you how the exam questions look like ( they usually have them at Kaplan and sometimes there are available on Ebay)

There are many books that have short questions , reminder schemes
- Step2 secrets or crush the boards step 2
-USMLE Step2 First Aid ( very good book)
-Appl and Lange Questions

STEP 2 CS- Clinical skills ( used to be called CSA)
THis is the clinical skills evaluation test...that is encounters with patients - it ranges from 11-12 patients . Mostly internal medicine but you can get anything .
You have 15 mins to take a history , do a physical exam and talk to the patients about your findings and counsel them about bad habits/what tests they may need further ...etc
there is an english language part of it as an evaluation instead of the TOEFL
STEP 3
This is the part which is clinical with emphasis on treatment - It is a 2 day exam
but you do not need it to join residency in the US
The time frame to prepare....if you are working step 1 may take up to 6 -10 months and step 2 4-6 months but if you are doing it as a full time thing you can take 5 months step 1and 4 months step 2 ..it really depends on you... you can just schedule your exam and reschedule if you're not ready...it runs the whole year long so it's not really a fixed time whcih you have to make ( except if you are planning on a specific date to join residency - people start applying in August of every year)
The cost- This is highly variable but some say around 50,000 Egyptian pounds
basic figuers are:
step 1 $ 810
step2- CK $ 810
step 2 CS $ 1200
