USMLE Program published an update today regarding USMLE CS exam stating possibility of resuming the exam online, here is the full update: "As announced previously, Step 2 CS testing has been suspended due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, and the USMLE program is pursuing testing solutions to ensure the health and safety of examinees and test center staff. After careful consideration, the USMLE program has determined that it cannot resume the exam in its current format without unacceptable risk to examinees and staff. Prior to COVID-19, the USMLE program was in the very early stages of exploring alternate formats and methods for delivery of the Step 2 CS exam, as part of overall efforts to enhance the USMLE. As a result of COVID-19, these plans have been accelerated and are focused on a testing solution that employs a telehealth model, where examinees and standardized patients would interact online, via a web browser. The USMLE program is aggressively assessing this solution, which will require significant redesign of the exam's content and delivery. Expediting such changes to the exam format and delivery will help result in a safe and effective assessment for all involved. At this time, Step 2 CS testing is expected to resume after July. Please know that we are doing everything we can to address the challenges of this new environment quickly, and that we will continue to provide you with updates on our progress."
