The USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination) is a three-step examination for medical licensure in USA. All 3 steps must be completed by any international medical graduates (IMGs) and practicing physicians who wish to practice medicine in USA. US medical students typically take Step 2 during the fourth year of their medical school studies. Step 2 is further divided into two separate exams: Step 2 CK and Step 2 CS.
