The USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) are administered at Prometric centers around the world. Since Step 3 provides a final assessment of physicians assuming independent responsibility for delivering general medical care in the U.S., the exam is only administered in the U.S. and its territories. While the USMLE program welcomes examinees from all countries, there will be no changes to this policy in response to the U.S. Department of State’s current travel prohibition and restrictions preventing those from certain countries traveling to the U.S.
