Abstract

To complete undergraduate medical training and secure licensure, osteopathic medical students must pass standardized high-stakes examinations, including the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination of the USA Level 2-Cognitive Evaluation (COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE). The examination aims to verify learners' necessary clinical knowledge, diagnostic reasoning, required competencies for osteopathic physicians in training, and readiness before they advance to graduate medical education settings. As the number of students in osteopathic medical training increases, it is essential to advance opportunities for COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE preparation. This manuscript aims to support osteopathic medical students and osteopathic medical educators, learning specialists, academic advisors, and administrators in developing a successful preparation plan for the COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE. The tips within this manuscript align with the information presented in osteopathic medical school curricula and the content outline found within the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NBOME) blueprint. These include an emphasis on preparation phases for planning, reviewing, and practicing as well as the importance of clinical curriculum, clinical examinations, NBOME Blueprint, clinical scenarios, and complete full-length examinations. The article is an opinion piece that describes how osteopathic medical students can prepare, practice, and develop more effective board preparation strategies to improve their COMLEX Level 2-CE score.
