The Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX) is a series of standardized tests for osteopathic medicine students and graduates in the U.S. Administered by the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NBOME), the exam consists of two levels—Level 1 and Level 2-CE (Cognitive Evaluation). Level 1 covers foundational science and Level 2 assesses clinical knowledge and skills. Students take Level 1 during the summer after their second year. Successful completion of the COMLEX is essential for obtaining licensure as an osteopathic physician, ensuring practitioners have the necessary skills for quality patient care.
