COMLEX LEVEL II and LEVEL III Enrichment Program

The Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX) is a critical series of examinations for osteopathic medical students in the United States. This page provides comprehensive information about our specialized Enrichment Program designed to support medical students preparing for both COMLEX LEVEL II and LEVEL III examinations.

Understanding COMLEX LEVEL II

COMLEX LEVEL II is divided into two distinct parts: LEVEL II-CE (Cognitive Evaluation) and LEVEL II-PE (Performance Evaluation).

COMLEX LEVEL II-CE

The LEVEL II-CE is a computer-based examination evaluating the osteopathic medical knowledge and clinical skills expected of students entering their supervised clinical rotations. This examination consists of multiple-choice questions testing:

• Clinical problem-solving abilities
• Diagnosis and management of various patient conditions
• Application of osteopathic principles and practices
• Understanding of medical ethics and professionalism
• Integration of basic science concepts in clinical decision-making

COMLEX LEVEL II-PE

The LEVEL II-PE evaluates clinical skills through standardized patient encounters. This component assesses:

• Osteopathic manipulative treatment skills
• Communication and interpersonal abilities
• Documentation of patient encounters
• Professionalism and ethical decision-making

Understanding COMLEX LEVEL III

COMLEX LEVEL III is the final examination in the COMLEX series. It tests the knowledge and skills that osteopathic physicians need at the completion of their internship or first year of residency. This examination includes:

• Clinical case simulations reflecting real-world practice
• Application of osteopathic medical principles to complex patient scenarios
• Medical decision-making in hospital and ambulatory settings
• Understanding of healthcare systems and practice management
