  • Descrição: Background: The US Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1 change to pass/fail has been met with mixed reviews, and the impact on medical student education and residency match is unknown. We surveyed medical school student affairs deans regarding their thoughts on the upcoming transition of Step 1 to pass/fail. Methods: A questionnaire was emailed to medical school deans. Deans were asked to rank the importance of the following after the Step 1 reporting change: Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (Step 2 CK), clerkship grades, letters of recommendation, personal statement, medical school reputation, class rank, Medical Student Performance Evaluation, and research. They were asked how the score change will affect curriculum, learning, diversity, and student mental health. Deans were asked to select 5 specialties they thought would be most affected. Results: Regarding perceived importance of residency applications following the scoring change, the most frequent number 1 choice was Step 2 CK. The majority of deans (93.5%, n = 43) felt that the change to pass/fail would benefit medical student education/learning environment; however, most (68.2%, n = 30) did not believe their school curriculum would change. Students applying to dermatology, neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, ENT, and plastic surgery were felt to be most affected by the scoring change; 58.7% (n = 27) felt it would not adequately address future diversity. Conclusion: The majority of deans feel the USMLE Step 1 change to pass/fail would benefit medical student education. Deans feel that students applying to traditionally more competitive specialties (ie, programs with fewer overall residency positions available) will be most affected.
