Dates of Exam:
May 24-27, 2011

The exam will consist of three separate cases, and you will have a total of 25 minutes to complete each case in its entirety. It is designed to simulate the Step II Clinical Skills Exam.  For further information, see:  www.usmle.org/Examinations/step2/step2.html.

In order to help prepare you for the Step 2 Clinical Skills Exams, all of the cases will require you to write a SOAP note.  You will be given 15 minutes to complete a focused History and Physical and 10 minutes to then write a SOAP note on the computer. You may want to view a sample of what the SOAP note format will look like.
