The median USMLE Step 2 scores for graduates of U.S. Medical Schools for various residencies are charted in Chart 7 on page 10 of "Charting Outcomes in the Match" available at http://www.nrmp.org/data/chartingoutcomes2009v3.pdf

Famous quotes containing the words effect on and/or effect:
“To speak impartially, the best men that I know are not serene, a world in themselves. For the most part, they dwell in forms, and flatter and study effect only more finely than the rest.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We all have—to put it as nicely as I can—our lower centres and our higher centres. Our lower centres act: they act with terrible power that sometimes destroys us; but they don’t talk.... Since the war the lower centres have become vocal. And the effect is that of an earthquake. For they speak truths that have never been spoken before—truths that the makers of our domestic institutions have tried to ignore.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
