On December 11, 2015 the USMLE committee announced that the recommended USMLE Step 3 minimum passing score will increase from 190 to 196, affecting all examinees whose first day of testing is on or after January 1, 2016.A change in the USMLE Step 3 passing threshold follows a series of USMLE announcements, dedicated to Step 3, beginning with a restructure of the exam in 2014, followed by the discontinuation of state board sponsorship for Step 3 and, most recently, a decrease in the number of items on the examination. A Program Director is most interested in the resident passing Step 3 prior to their second year of residency so that they can focus on patient care skills and success in Board Certification.
The good-standing status of a residency program is related to the number of graduating residents that become board certified.There are no incentives for a high Step 3 score while in residency. Non-US medical school graduates may take Step 3 prior to matching in a preliminary or categorical program and have advantages when compared to those applicants who have not taken it.
