USMLE

Dear Shirish, The United States Medical Licensing Examination® (USMLE®) is a three-step examination for medical licensure in the United States and is sponsored by the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) and the National Board of Medical Examiners® (NBME®). The USMLE program supports medical licensing authorities in the United States through its leadership in the development, delivery, and continual improvement of high-quality assessments across the continuum of physicians’ preparation for practice. Its valid in UAE, New Zealand, Israel, Dubai Health City and Qatar. 

Hello,

mle steps require time and energy and your full focus. Time taken for any exam is relative .

Preparing for any exam depends on your pace and time. It also depends on how far are you able to understand the exam pattern.

Normally a period of 6-8 months is necessary for step 1 but I have seen my colleagues take them in 4-5 months

Step 2 requires atleast 4 months of prep but it's relatively easier than step 1

Step 3 is the shortest preparing exam with just about 20 to 30 days

So usually a total of 1 year to 1 and half for all the steps. so after that you can start earning .

 hope this helps you !

all the best !

The most important eligibility criteria for USMLE for international aspirants is that they have to be either enrolled in a medical school or should have graduate of a medical school. For Step 1, you should be enrolled in or graduate of a medical school outside of the US and Canada, which is listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools. Aspirants should meet ECFMG certification eligibility criteria. And if you clear all the 3 steps, then you can opt for a career in research field or various residency categories. 

Dear sarthak, 

It's depends on the students. But on an average i think 13 - 15 weeks are sufficient for clearing the all 3 steps of USMLE.

THANKS FOR ASKING
