Step 1 going to Pass/Fail will have impacts on basic science education but may provide opportunities to reimagine assessments. The goal of this session is to explore how the changes in Step 1 scoring may influence approaches to the assessment of basic sciences. New assessment strategies recently implemented at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine will be presented and discussed. Potential assessments of the future will be explored.
