    Funny enough, there actually is literature on this (▶ link) (▶ link) precisely refuting your first claim. Not saying I completely concur with the study nor agree step scores are the end all be all. The study has been criticized by people like Bryan Carmody AKA Sheriff of Sodium for conflict of interest and questionable methodology (▶ link).

    …*really* predict patient care outcomes? One of the things that we're really not taught in medical school to the degree that we should is how to analyze literature and look for bias. The folks at the USMLE published this result to show that higher USMLE correlates with better patient care. But as usual, the devil is in the details. I felt this was an excellent discussion on the topic and I learned a lot. ▶ link
