USMLE steps required for MD degree?

On the school website it mentions that a Step 2 pass is required before a MD degree is awarded. However it also mentions CSA and thus makes the USMLE requirement dated. How does the requirement translate to the new USMLE steps?

likely

very likely the same thing- step one and new step two. Remember that just because a school doenst require you to take the steps to get your MD, doesnt mean the us (or a residency program) will allow you back if you haven't got these things under your belt. I would advice any student to be wary of any school that doesnt require you to meet these steps in a timely way. They tend to be schools that are happy to take your time and your money without regard to your progress and your ability to get what you came there for.

..

There are Step 2 CK and Step 2 CS.

Just curious if Step 2 CS is required for the MD degree?

Step 2

Step 2 CS is required for an MD degree, I posted a reply before but put something in the subject line and my response went someplace else :-)

St Martinus

You must pass both Steps 1 and 2 in order to practice in the US, however, I believe the CSA is only needed for liscensure in the caribbean, not all our students are American, however, please email the dean at dean@martinus.edu and he will be more than happy to help you, his name is Dr. ********

CSA

In the US, CSA stands for clinical skills assessment...and yes it is required for your MD license. Good luck in your search.
