Yes, you can take Step 2 USMLE without ever having taken USMLE Step 1. You should know, though, that you must release all USMLE scores to allopathic residences as a DO, if you will be applying allo, which means they'd see your failed Step 1 in addition to the Step 2. You can't select to only send your Step 2 score.
