COMLEX Outcomes
Over the past three years, on average, 95% of our students pass the national Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination, or COMLEX-USA, on their first attempt. These rigorous assessments of medical knowledge and patient-care skills help to ensure that our students meet and exceed national standards. Successful completion of COMLEX-USA Level 1, Level 2 CE and Level 2-PE is required for attaining the D.O. degree from the College of Osteopathic Medicine.
The National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners, or NBOME, is an independent, nongovernmental, not-for-profit organization whose mission is to protect the public by providing the means to assess competencies for osteopathic medicine and related health care professions. NBOME administers COMLEX-USA, which is designed to assess osteopathic medical knowledge, knowledge fluency, clinical skills and other competencies essential for practice as an osteopathic generalist physician.
