Every medical/surgical resident is responsible for contacting the appropriate board to register for the USMLE Step III/COMLEX Part III exam.

It is recommended that all PG1 residents, including those in preliminary programs, pass the USMLE Step III/COMLEX Part III examination prior to their second year of training. It is strongly suggested that all PG1s register for the exam within the first 3 months of the PG1 year; take the exam within the first 6 months of their PG1 year so that results of the first attempt are available to the Program Director and any necessary additional institutional support needed can be provided prior to completion of the PG1 year. As of this writing, the USMLE Step III/COMLEX Part III exam may be taken up to three (3) times in a 12-month period with a 90-day waiting period between each exam. All residents must provide a copy of the scores of each exam attempt to their respective Program Director.

PG1s who take the exam within the first twelve months of residency, will be eligible for a $1,500 educational stipend to support exam expenses when evidence of exam completion and/or test results are provided to the GME office. Residents taking USMLE Step 3 may request an “End of Exam Summary Sheet” following their exam which provides evidence of exam completion. Residents taking the COMLEX 3 exam may print a status report from their online account that shows examine completion. Residents may email gme@vandaliahealth.org once they have evidence of taking the exam to request reimbursement of $1,500. Reimbursement requests received by the end of each given month, will be reimbursed at the start of the next pay period the following month.

All PG1s must pass Step 3 no later than within 18 months following the commencement of their residency training. Failure to pass within this timeline requires the Program Director to petition the Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC) for an exception to this policy and may result in a letter of deficiency to the resident.

PG1 residents who took and passed USMLE/COMLEX 3 before matching into a CAMC PGY1 Program are eligible for $1,500. Scores should be uploaded by the Program Coordinator into New Innovations. The GME office will pay out that benefit annually in August or the month after the trainee begins when it’s an off-cycle resident.
