Hi,

I'm scheduled to take Step 2 CS in a few days. I understand that I must bring "unenhanced, standard stethoscope." The only stethoscope I have is the Littmann Master Cardiologist Stethoscope, which does not have a traditional diaphragm/bell set up. The diaphragm and bell are on one side and switching between the two is done by applying different amounts of pressure. Is this allowed for CS?

Here's a link to what it looks like:

Thanks

By unenhanced they usually mean that no electronic amplification is allowed. If they have a problem with your stethoscope they will likely provide you with one of their own. I don't foresee there should be a problem but only the testing center/proctors can decide that.
