The association of USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK scores with residency match specialty and location.

CONCLUSIONS: Residency specialty match was significantly associated with USMLE Step 1 and USMLE Step 2 CK scores, as was staying in-state or leaving the state for residency. Students who were legal residents of the state at the time of application were more likely to stay in-state for residency, regardless of USMLE score.
