Short answer: This registry records school-reported first-time USMLE pass rates with cohort windows and a verify-on-school-site caveat. Figures come from each school’s own facts/outcomes pages — not from NBME or FSMB official tables. Cohort definitions differ (US-only vs all students; one calendar year vs five-year windows), so do not rank schools by these percentages alone.

What this table is
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| School-reported Step 1 / Step 2 CK | First-time pass % as stated by the school, with cohort years when given |
| Source caveat | Always verify the live school outcomes page — schools revise tables |
| Blank / not recorded | We have not captured a citable figure yet — not the same as “0%” |

| Windsor University | 96% first-attempt (cohort years not specified on cited page) | Not yet recorded | Verify at windsor.edu — school marketing page |
| Saint James School of Medicine | FTC dispute on historical ~96% marketing (FTC cited ~35% in 2022 matter) | Not recorded as a clean structured rate here | Read FTC/Wikipedia summary; confirm live SJSM disclosures |
Other schools in the master comparison table may still lack structured USMLE fields. That gap is intentional: unknown beats a scraped marketing number without a dated capture.
How to read a school-reported pass rate
- Cohort definition — first-time takers vs all takers; calendar years vs graduating class; US-only vs all nationalities.
- Step 1 vs Step 2 CK — rates are not interchangeable; post–pass/fail Step 1 reporting changed how some schools present history.
- Self-reported — schools often compute rates from exams they receive; they are not third-party audited against NBME unless stated.
- Attrition — a high pass rate among exam takers can coexist with students who never sit the exam. Ask for attrition / on-time graduation if the school publishes it.
- Match rate ≠ USMLE — residency attainment is a separate outcome. See each school’s residency notes on the profile.
Where to verify (primary)
- School outcomes / USMLE pages linked from each school profile
- ECFMG / Intealth pathway and reporting guidance for your application year
- This registry’s methodology — we only add rates we can attribute and date
