COMLEX Updates◦ Updated the exam starting in 2018, and now all portions updated
◦ Updates based on 10 years of work in evidence-based design
◦ Passing score = 400
◦ Steps 1 and 2 scores between 500-540 tend to be 50th percentile
◦ Really good for all specialties = 600+ (80th percentile)
◦ Osteopathic medical schools vary re: USMLE requirements
◦ Likely COMLEX will continue
◦ AMA officially recognizes COMLEX as equivalent to USMLE
◦ ACGME acknowledges both

COMLEX and USMLE
◦ Formulas to convert COMLEX to USMLE exist- Use Caution!
◦ The USMLE Step 1 scores, on average, were higher than those predicted by the
formulas derived by Slocum and Louder and by Sarko et al.
◦ Here is the link to the COMLEX-USA score converter. If an applicant includes a
COMLEX-USA transcript as part of their application, you will also find the score
converter link under the "Exams/Licenses" tab in View Applications.

Formative Assessment Exams (ITE's)
◦ ABFM
◦ ACOFP
◦ CORTEX
Formative Assessment Exams◦ In-Service Exam Plus (ISE+)- new formative exam that will fulfill the AOA basic standard
and ACGME requirements. It also includes an osteopathic component that will fulfill ACGME’s OPP/OMM formative assessment requirement for programs that have Osteopathic Recognition (OR). This is open to DOs, INTERNS AND MDs in AOA ACCREDITED and ACGME ACCREDITED programs WITH OSTEOPATHIC RECOGNITION.
The traditional ACOFP In-Service Exam (ISE) is a formative exam that will fulfill the AOA basic standard and will fulfill ACGME’s formative assessment requirement for programs without OR. This is open to DOs, INTERNS AND MDs.
◦ CORTEx (Clinical Osteopathic Recognition Training Exam) is a formative stand-alone OPP/OMM exam that will fulfill the Osteopathic Recognition ACGME requirement. This is open to DOs, INTERNS AND MDs in AOA ACCREDITED and ACGME ACCREDITED programs WITH OSTEOPATHIC RECOGNITION.

Family Medicine Boards
◦ ABFM/AOBFP- one or both?
Approval of non-AOA postdoctoral training
◦ If you completed residency or fellowship training in an ACGME program,
applying for AOA recognition of your training allows you to be eligible for AOA
board certification in your specialty. You’ll also need to obtain it if you:
◦ Plan to practice in Florida or Pennsylvania, since these states require DOs to have
completed an OGME-1 year in order to become licensed. (Michigan and Oklahoma
no longer require DOs to have completed an AOA-approved internship for
licensure.)
◦ Are a resident physician who is transferring from an ACGME residency program to an
AOA residency program.
