taking the USMLE without prior med school?

[Noreaster]

A person has recently told me that her husband with an MBA has taken the USMLE I and II and he has not gone to med school at all. This does not compute; I didn't think this was at all possible. She states her husband took an "unofficial" test but professionally proctored. Has anybody ever heard of this? I sure haven't.

Your friend is a liar. When you sign up for the USMLE, you must specify which medical school you attend, as it is a prerequisite to sit for the exam. He probably took a Step I test out of a practice book and thought he was some hot s**t.

Yeah, when I registered for the USMLE I had to have a form filled out and signed by the school that said I was a current student there in good standing.

Thats so KAPLAN employees cant go sit for the test.

Ask your friend's husband for a prescription in the left hand and for him to s*it in the right hand and see which one gets filled first.
