Examinees complete a patient note after each patient encounter in the Step 2 Clinical Skills (CS) examination. A list of common abbreviations that may be used in the notes is included in the Step 2 Clinical Skills Content Description and General Information<\/em> booklet, and is posted at each computer station at all Clinical Skills Evaluation Collaboration (CSEC) test centers.<\/p>\n

The Step 2 Clinical Skills Content Description and General Information<\/em><\/a> booklet now includes an updated version of the abbreviation list; this version will be posted at test centers beginning November 3, 2014.<\/p>\n

Changes to the list are minor. Examinees should be aware that this is not a complete list of all acceptable abbreviations, but rather represents the types of common abbreviations that may be used on the patient note. Patient notes are rated by licensed, board-certified physicians with experience in medical education, who will understand common medical abbreviations. However, an examinee who is in doubt about the correct abbreviation to use should write out the word or phrase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
