Pre-Implementation Pilot Exams (PIPE)
In preparation for the implementation of USMLE Step 2 Clinical Skills (CS), each of the five regional Clinical Skills Evaluation Centers (CSECs) in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles and Houston, will be conducting a Pre-Implementation Pilot Examination (PIPE) during the weeks prior to the opening of that center for live CS testing. PIPE participants will have the opportunity to gain a first hand sense of how the examination works, what the test centers are like, and how the testing day will unfold. Participants will also receive some limited feedback on how they performed on the examination. Participation is free and is limited to applicants who are registered for Step 2 CS.
For additional information, including PIPE test dates/locations and PIPE scheduling instructions, view the full announcement on the USMLE website.
