This year, as of October 31, 2003, the USMLE Committee on Irregular Behavior, following review of proctors’ reports and other relevant information, made determinations in 27 instances that USMLE examinees had engaged in irregular behavior. The transcripts of these examinees have been annotated to reflect these determinations. This means that anyone receiving these examinees’ USMLE transcripts in the future will be made aware of this finding. For some infractions, the examinees were also barred from USMLE for a period of time.

A determination of irregular behavior can put your medical career in jeopardy! Third parties, such as residency program directors and state licensing authorities, receive annotated transcripts and make determinations that could adversely affect your future.

Please believe the information posted on this!!! My PD started seeing more notices on the score reports than he has seen in the past, and decisions to interview or not to interview had been based on this information. Please follow the instructions for taking these exams to the letter!!

It can be summed up in one word: Ethics.
