I took both COMLEX and USMLE Step 1, planning on taking USMLE for Step 2 as well, but I'm confused if the Step 2 CS is also necessary for most anesthesia ACGME residencies? I always hear people talking about taking both USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK, but I'm not sure if they are talking about CS as well? Thanks for your help

Not necessary

They're always talking about Step 2 CK. No one cares about CS. ~1% of DOs take it, whereas 1/3 of DOs take CK.
