COMLEX
The COMLEX (Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination) is a series of standardized tests designed for osteopathic medical students in the United States. It assesses their knowledge and skills in various areas of medicine, including clinical practice and patient care. The exam is essential for obtaining a medical license to practice as a DO (Doctor of Osteopathy).
The COMLEX consists of multiple levels, with each level focusing on different competencies. Level 1 evaluates basic medical sciences, while Level 2 assesses clinical skills and knowledge. Level 3 tests the ability to manage patients in a clinical setting. Passing these exams is crucial for osteopathic physicians to ensure they meet the required standards for medical practice.
