The inter-rater reliability was strong with an intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.845 (p<0.01) There was a statistically significant correlation between our ranking of clinical performance and Step 2 CK score (Spearman’s rho) There was no statistically significant correlation between clinical performance and Step 1 score Conclusion Neither USMLE Step 1 nor Step 2CK were good predictors of clinical performance during training USMLE scores may be overemphasized in the resident selection process Methods All graduating residents from our PGY 1-3 University-based EM residency program with complete USMLE scores From 2008 to 2015 Clinical performance was defined as a gestalt of the residency program’s leadership (PD/2 APDs) Initially blinded to each other’s grouping selections Classified the residents into 3 sets: top, average, and lowest clinical performer Dissimilarities of the rankings were adjudicated during a consensus conference Category Number Percentage Top 38 33% Middle 44 38% Bottom 33 29%   USMLE Step 1 USMLE Step 2CK Correlation Coefficient 0.067 0.205 P Value 0.49 0.04 N 109 106 References Table 1.
