I took Step 2 CS about a month ago, and wanted to ask how the hand washing portion is graded. I used hand sanitizer when entering the room for every encounter, and again for about half the cases. The other half I forgot or realized too late into the PE. How critical is this segment to passing the CIS portion? In essence, will I be dinged for not washing right before the PE on about half the cases?
