By usmle exam on 22-Oct-2008 A study form National Board of Medical Examiners revealed gender factor on USMLE step 1 performance: Controlling for prematriculation measures, men outperformed women slightly on Step 1. Undergraduate science grade point averages were more associated with Step 1 performance for women than men. Schools with higher mean Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) science scores had higher mean Step 1 scores, and MCAT science scores were slightly more associated with Step 1 performance for students from schools with higher percentages of female students. CONCLUSIONS: Patterns of gender-related performance differences on Step 1 generally mirrored those reported in earlier research. School-level variables provided some additional insight into these relationships, but additional research is needed to fully understand why men and women perform differently on the USMLE.
