Will family medicine residencies accept step 2 without a Step 1 if they have a USMLE requirement? I want to apply to programs in the new york/ new jersey area. I thought FM was very DO friendly but I have been contacting a lot of programs (including lower-tier programs) and many seem to require USMLE Step 1. Step 1 is not really an option for me anymore but I can still take Step 2. Any thoughts?
