Personal Items & Test Accommodations
Examinees Who Require Personal Items in the Testing Room
As more fully explained under Testing:
Personal Items, unauthorized possession of personal items while you are in
the secure areas of the testing center is prohibited. However, in certain
limited circumstances, exceptions to this policy may be made for medical
reasons, provided that permission is granted in advance of test administration.
If you believe that you have a medical condition that requires you to use
medication, an external appliance, electronic device, or other items in the
secure areas of the test center, please submit a written request via e-mail to
NBME. You will need to explain the necessity of the exception and provide
documentation from your medical professional substantiating your need to use
the item(s) during test administration. Professional documentation must be
typewritten on the professional’s letterhead, signed, and dated. Examples of
appliances and devices to which this policy applies include insulin pumps,
inhalers, medications, TENS units, breast pumps (for USMLE Step
2 CS), hearing aids, electronic or digitally amplified or otherwise enhanced
nonstandard stethoscopes (for USMLE Step 2 CS), wheelchairs, canes, crutches,
and casts. This list is not exhaustive; if you are unsure whether you should
request an exception, please contact the Personal Item Exception Coordinator
via e-mail.
You
are not required to obtain advance permission to wear eyeglasses or contact
lenses during testing, or to consume food or medication on authorized breaks.
All personal items, including those permitted as an exception under this
policy, are subject to inspection at the test center. If you bring an item,
including an appliance or device, to your test administration without obtaining
permission in advance, you may not be permitted to test, you may be required to
relinquish the item, you may be investigated for irregular behavior, and/or
your score may be held until you provide adequate documentation from your
medical professional.
