Your USMLE Step 2CK score is the most essential hard metric assessed by residency programs.

您的 USMLE Step 2CK 成績是住院醫師培訓項目評估的最基本硬指標。

But what score do you need to be a competitive residency applicant?

但是，您需要多少分數才能成為有競爭力的住院醫師申請者？

While the minimum passing score of USMLE Step 2CK is 214, a passing grade is far from what you need to match into a residency program.

雖然 USMLE Step 2CK 的最低及格分數是 214 分，但及格分數遠非您進入住院醫師培訓項目所需的分數。

As we share average Step 2 scores by specialty in this video, keep in mind that these numbers reflect averages only.

我們在本視頻中分享了各專業的第 2 步平均分數，請記住這些數字反映的只是平均值。

There are medical students who scored much higher and others who scored well below the average but had other impressive application components such as research experience, a compelling narrative, and glowing letters of recommendation to make up for a low Step 2 score.

有些醫科學生的分數要高得多，而有些學生的分數則遠遠低於平均分，但他們的申請材料（如研究經歷、引人入勝的敘述和光彩照人的推薦信）卻給人留下了深刻印象，從而彌補了步驟 2 分數低的不足。

Whether or not you match into your ideal program is not solely determined by meeting average hard metrics, but they are a good starting point.

你是否能進入理想的計劃，並不完全取決於你是否達到了平均硬指標，但這些指標是一個很好的起點。

Additionally, keep in mind that the competitive nature of residency applications results in average Step scores increasing from one year to the next.

此外，請記住，住院醫師申請的競爭性導致平均 Step 分數逐年提高。

To ensure you match into your ideal specialty and preferred program, aim for a higher than average Step 2CK score.

為確保您能進入理想的專業和首選課程，請爭取獲得高於平均水平的第 2CK 步分數。

First up with the lowest average Step 2 score is Family Medicine at 244.

第 2 步平均得分最低的是家庭醫學，為 244 分。

Family Medicine is a specialty that continuously has the lowest Step 2 score of all specialties.

在所有專業中，家庭醫學一直是步驟 2 分數最低的專業。

That said, note that the current 244, based on 2024 data, is an increase from 241 in 2022 and 238 in 2020.

儘管如此，請注意，根據 2024 年的數據，目前的 244 人比 2022 年的 241 人和 2020 年的 238 人有所增加。

For context, a Step 2CK score of 245 is at the 37th percentile, meaning 37% of exam takers scored lower than 245.

根據上下文，第 2CK 步的 245 分屬於第 37 百分位數，這意味著 37% 的考生分數低於 245 分。

A notably lower Step score is one of the major contributing factors for Family Medicine ranking as the least competitive specialty year after year.

步驟分數明顯偏低是導致全科醫學年復一年成為競爭最不激烈的專業的主要原因之一。

Next up, near the bottom of the pack, is Psychiatry with a score of 246.

接下來是排名墊底的 Psychiatry，得分 246 分。

Psychiatry also consistently ranks in the top 5 least competitive specialties.

精神病學也一直是競爭最不激烈的前 5 個專業之一。

At a tie with a Step score of 247 are Pediatrics and Pathology.

兒科和病理科以 247 分並列第一。

Pediatrics is the next least competitive specialty, following Family Medicine, and Pathology also ranked in the top 5 least competitive in 2024.

兒科是繼全科醫學之後競爭最不激烈的專業，病理學也是 2024 年競爭最不激烈的前 5 個專業之一。

If you're sensing a trend, that's because there is one.

如果你感覺到了一種趨勢，那是因為確實存在這種趨勢。

While not the only factor, average Step 2 scores are significant in determining a specialty's competitiveness.

第 2 步平均分數雖然不是唯一的因素，但對確定一個專業的競爭力非常重要。

In fact, we weigh Step 2CK scores at 30% in our Specialty Competitiveness Index.

事實上，在我們的專業競爭力指數中，第 2CK 步得分佔 30%。

But that's not the only factor we compile to determine competitiveness.

但這並不是我們確定競爭力的唯一因素。

The index also factors in match rate, research items, AOA status, and top 40 NIH funding.

該指數還考慮了匹配率、研究項目、AOA 地位和美國國立衛生研究院（NIH）前 40 名的資助情況。

There is a high degree of correlation among these various factors because students who are aiming for more competitive specialties tend to cluster with higher Step scores, more research items, AOA status, and they often go to higher ranked schools with top 40 NIH funding.

這些因素之間存在著高度的相關性，因為那些以競爭更激烈的專業為目標的學生往往聚集在 Step 分數更高、研究項目更多、具有 AOA 資格的群體中，而且他們往往就讀於排名更靠前的學校，獲得的 NIH 資金排名前 40 位。

If you're dedicated to killing your Step 2CK score, there's a good chance you're crushing other aspects of your medical journey too.

如果您致力於提高您的第 2CK 步分數，那麼您也很有可能在醫學旅程的其他方面也取得優異成績。

Following the trend, we have Emergency Medicine at 248, and it's the last specialty to rank in the bottom 5 least competitive.

順應潮流，急診醫學排在 248 位，是競爭最激烈的最後 5 個專業中的最後一個。

Along with EM, Child Neurology, and PMNR also have a Step 2 score of 248.

除了電磁學，兒童神經學和 PMNR 的第 2 步分數也是 248 分。

Next up, jumping by two significant points, is Neurology, with an average Step 2 score of 250.

緊隨其後的是神經內科，平均第二步分數為 250 分，上升了兩個百分點。

Scoring a 250 puts you in the 50th percentile, meaning 50% of exam takers had a lower score than yours, placing you right in the middle of the pack.

250 分使您處於第 50 百分位數，這意味著 50%的考生分數低於您的分數，使您處於中等水平。

Internal Medicine has an average Step 2 score of 251.

內科第 2 步的平均分數為 251 分。

Internal Medicine is the most pursued medical specialty.

For context, in 2024, 8,361 positions in Internal Medicine were filled, while the next most popular was Family Medicine, which filled fewer than 4,000 positions.

例如，在 2024 年，內科有 8,361 個職位被錄用，其次是家庭醫學，錄用人數不到 4,000 人。

This is due to the many subspecializations doctors can pursue following Internal Medicine, including Cardiology, Oncology, Gastroenterology, and Pulmonology.

這是因為醫生可以在內科之後從事許多亞專科，包括心臟病學、腫瘤學、胃腸病學和肺病學。

Since these are all subspecialties of IM, you won't find them on lists of categorical residency programs.

由於這些都是 IM 的亞專科，是以不會出現在分類住院醫師培訓計劃的名單上。

Next, tying each other with a score of 252 is Radiation Oncology, Ob-Gyn, and Anesthesiology.

其次是腫瘤放射科、婦產科和麻醉科，並列第 252 位。

With a score of 253, General Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Interventional Radiology, and Internal Medicine Pediatrics, also known as MedPeds, are all tied.

普通外科、血管外科、介入放射學和內科兒科（又稱 MedPeds）的得分均為 253 分，並列第一。

Note that MedPeds, the combination of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, has a higher average Step 2CK score than each of the separate paths of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, and it ranks as more competitive than both as well.

請注意，MedPeds（內科和兒科的組合）的第 2CK 步平均分高於內科和兒科的每個獨立方向，其競爭排名也高於這兩個方向。

However, the compensation of MedPeds physicians is in between those of dedicated pediatricians and Internal Medicine doctors.

不過，MedPeds 醫生的報酬介於專職兒科醫生和內科醫生之間。

This is due to the fact that children are more resilient and, therefore, require fewer procedures.

這是因為兒童的適應能力較強，是以需要的程序較少。

Unfortunately, since procedures are where most of the money comes from in the US, pediatric physicians typically don't have as high a salary as physicians who treat adults.

遺憾的是，在美國，由於大部分資金都來自手術，兒科醫生的薪水通常沒有治療成人的醫生高。

With a score of 255, Neurosurgery is in the 63rd percentile.

神經外科的得分是 255 分，排在第 63 位。

When accounting for ties, Neurosurgery has the 6th most competitive Step 2 score.

如果算上並列名次，神經外科在競爭最激烈的第 2 步考試中排名第 6。

However, when considering all factors on our competitiveness index, Neurosurgery currently ranks as the 2nd most competitive.

然而，如果考慮到我們競爭力指數中的所有因素，神經外科目前在最具競爭力的學科中排名第二。

It's a specialty that attracts a personality type that's willing to endure and work very hard, which is why they have by far the most research items at 37.4 on average as of 2024.

這種專業吸引了願意忍受和努力工作的個性類型，這也是為什麼到 2024 年，他們的研究項目最多，平均達到 37.4 項。

Another reason for its attraction among Type A personalities and workaholics is the notably high salary.

吸引 "A 型性格 "和工作狂的另一個原因是，它的薪水相當高。

Neurosurgeons make more than any other specialty at over $760,000 a year on average.

神經外科醫生的年平均收入超過 76 萬美元，高於其他任何專業。

Unfortunately, they also have one of the worst lifestyles.

不幸的是，他們的生活方式也是最糟糕的。

As the saying goes, while neurosurgeons make the most money, they have no time to spend it.

俗話說，神經外科醫生掙得最多，卻沒時間花。

Plastic surgery, otolaryngology, and diagnostic radiology tie each other for the 2nd most competitive average Step 2 score at 256.

整形外科、耳鼻喉科和放射診斷科以 256 分並列競爭第二激烈的第 2 步平均分。

Interestingly, while diagnostic radiology has a highly competitive Step 2 score that's only surpassed by two specialties, it only ranks as the 8th most competitive in our specialty competitiveness index.

有趣的是，雖然放射診斷學的第 2 步考試成績競爭激烈，只有兩個專業超過了它，但在我們的專業競爭力指數中，它只排在競爭最激烈的第 8 位。

This is due to a lower likelihood of attending a top 40 NIH school and a much higher match rate than the top 5 leaders.

這是因為他們進入美國國立衛生研究院排名前 40 的學校的可能性較低，而匹配率卻遠高於排名前 5 的領導者。

Tied for the highest average Step 2 score of all categorical specialties is orthopedic surgery and dermatology with 257.

在所有分類專業中，第 2 步平均得分並列最高的是整形外科和皮膚科，均為 257 分。

The current highest average score of 257 falls somewhere between the 63rd and 76th percentile, which requires a score of 260.

目前的最高平均分數為 257 分，介於第 63 和第 76 百分位數之間，而第 76 百分位數要求分數為 260 分。

Orthopedic surgery currently ranks as the 4th most competitive, with its high average Step score being a notable contributing factor.

矯形外科目前在競爭最激烈的學科中排名第四，其平均步驟分數高是一個顯著的因素。

Dermatology ranks as the most competitive medical specialty based on 2024 data.

根據 2024 年的數據，皮膚科是競爭最激烈的醫學專科。

If you want to earn almost $500,000 a year without sacrificing your work-life balance, derm is the specialty for you.

如果你想在不犧牲工作與生活平衡的情況下，每年賺取近 50 萬美元，皮膚科就是你的理想專業。

The only downside is that everyone else agrees.

Just like with the least competitive specialties, all 5 of the most competitive specialties also have the highest average Step 2 score, with the exception of diagnostic radiology.

與競爭最不激烈的專業一樣，競爭最激烈的所有 5 個專業的第 2 步平均得分也是最高的，但放射診斷專業除外。

If you're thinking Step 2 scores must be the determining factor in competitiveness, keep in mind that Step 2 scores are only weighted at 30% of our overall ranking system.

如果您認為第 2 步分數一定是競爭力的決定性因素，請記住第 2 步分數在我們的總體排名系統中只佔 30% 的權重。

The other competitiveness factors include match rate, research items, AOA status, and top 40 NIH funding.

其他競爭因素包括匹配率、研究項目、AOA 狀態和前 40 名 NIH 資金。

That said, these results do point to clear trends across clusters of specialties when considering competitiveness.

儘管如此，在考慮競爭力時，這些結果確實表明了各專業群的明顯趨勢。

Specialties with the highest average Step 2 scores are competitive for other reasons as well, and the same is true of the least competitive specialties.

平均 Step 2 分數最高的專業競爭激烈還有其他原因，競爭最不激烈的專業也是如此。

No matter the specialty you're aiming for, it's critical to remember these are only averages.

無論您的目標是什麼專業，都必須記住這些只是平均值。

While residency programs consider the whole applicant and not simply what they scored on Step 2, it is a major determining factor and oftentimes used as a cutoff, and the more competitive a specialty is, the more ways you'll need to stand out.

雖然住院醫師培訓項目考慮的是申請人的整體情況，而不僅僅是他們在第二步考試中的分數，但這是一個重要的決定因素，而且經常被用作分數線，競爭越激烈的專業，你就需要用更多的方法脫穎而出。

Step 2CK is a mammoth 9-hour test, which is intimidating to say the least.

步驟 2CK 是一個長達 9 小時的巨大測試，至少可以說是令人生畏的。

There's a lot riding on your performance, as Step 2CK is the number one most important test that determines your residency competitiveness.

第 2CK 步考試是決定您是否有資格參加住院醫師培訓的最重要的考試之一，是以您的成績對您來說至關重要。

It can easily get the better of students if they don't have a study plan tailored to their specific needs, and it's not a test you can simply retake.

如果學生沒有根據自己的具體需要制定學習計劃，很容易就會被它迷惑，而且這也不是一個可以簡單重考的考試。

No top score can be achieved without a customized, bulletproof plan.

沒有量身定製的、無懈可擊的計劃，就不可能取得最高分。
