Abstract
The United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1 recently transitioned
to a pass-fail system from their three digit scoring system. The implications of this
change will ultimately influence medical students, residency programs, and most importantly,
patients. This article seeks to address some of the varying ethical and practical
effects of this conversion to a pass/fail examination.
