I apologize if this is addressed in a different discussion forum, but has there been any discussion of a recommendation to the NBME to plan on allowing schools to proctor Step 1 and Step 2 CK within their own settings, or planning a long term delay for Step 2 CS?

Agree with those sentiments. Also, would consider alignment of all match dates (i.e. elimination of early match/ SF match).

Dear All,
I summarized last week's discussion into three principles and some recommendations under each. Could you please edit/ add in preparation for our call on Thursday.
- Implement a process which is equitable, student-centered, and aligned with all stakeholder needs
- Promote parity in opportunity among all students, considering newer and more established schools, allopathic and osteopathic schools
- Vet recommendations through representative stakeholders (various types of schools, programs, learners)
- Promote a value-driven approach understanding limited resources both for students and institutions
- Limit number of applications
- Limit numbers of audition electives
- Permit virtual interviews
- Align Match timeline with accommodations made for curricular changes secondary to COVID-19 pandemic.
- Consider shift in Match calendar to later in year
Best,
Lyuba
