Step 2 of the USMLE examination can be quite challenging for many students. It consists of practice cases in which students must come up with diagnoses and treatment plans for virtual patients. Recently, CanadaQBank added USMLE Step 2 CS questions to its growing lineup of question banks. These questions and cases fall into 41 different topics, all of which can be presented to the student during the examination at random.
Scenarios
The Clinical Skills part of the USMLE is also known as Step 2 CS, and it affords students who are interested in becoming licensed doctors in the United States a chance to demonstrate their skills and knowledge in simulated case settings. With each “case”, students are presented with an opening scenario explaining some basics about the patient and the presenting symptoms. Students are often given the virtual patients’ vital signs, as well, to aid them in their diagnoses.
Students’ Goals
With the information provided to them in the simulated cases, students have several objectives. First, they must work to obtain a medical history, then they must perform a physical examination that is relevant to the patients symptoms and history, and finally, they must discuss the diagnoses with the patients. The student’s goal is to perform everything perfectly using his or her knowledge of medicine obtained throughout his or her years of schooling. The USMLE Step 2 CS examination is the culmination of these things, and it will ultimately decide who becomes a licensed doctor in the United States.
