hi everyone,
i have passed all my usmle steps but have an attempt on step 3 ... i wanted to know if it is important to mention attempts on caf ? I am confused about this as we want to keep our best foot forward and try to make our cv look great on the other hand there is danger of being portrayed as dishonest or hiding facts .please anybody help me ???

Even if u don't show the number of times u have attempted the USMLE Step-3 exam, the programs will still know about that thro' the USMLE Transcripts which will be transmitted to them by the ERAS.
Thus, there is no benefit in hiding such details.
However,yur ERAS CV will not be reflecting the number of times u have taken each USMLE exam.
Best Wishes!
