Health and Safety Protocols Updated for Testing Year 2022 

Protecting examinee health and safety is a priority for the AAMC. Working with AAMC medical and infectious disease experts and our testing partner, Pearson VUE, we have updated the health and safety protocols in test centers for the 2022 testing year. Pearson VUE test centers will follow local health and safety guidance and masks will continue to be required in all U.S. and U.S. territory test centers. You can find more details about the protocols in place at your specific test center on Pearson VUE’s website. We will continue to closely monitor the conditions of the pandemic and local health and safety guidance throughout the year, and the AAMC may make adjustments as necessary to maintain a safe testing environment. We encourage you to reach out to us with any questions at mcatsafety@aamc.org.
