And I thought Step 2CK was expensive…
A couple months ago I paid for the privilege of sitting on the USMLE Step 2 CK exam. It’s one of the many licensing exams for medical doctors in the US. We take Step 1 after completing the 2nd year of medical school Step 2 is divided into two sections, a clinical knowledge (CK) and a clinical skills (CS) portion.
I remember blogging about how Step 2 CK was expensive, costing something like $700.
Well I just paid for Step 2 CS today. I’m hoping to take it —- well I guess I should say I’m required to take it before the year ends if I want my diploma next May.
Cost of Step 2 CS? $1120. Grrr
And get this, they only offer this exam in 5 locations around the entire country. Fortunately, LA is one of the cities that offer the exam. So I won’t have to pay for travel and lodging too. (The other cities are Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Chicago. I have no idea why each city was chosen as a testing center.)
