Abstract

The Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX) is a 3-part series of examinations, similar to the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), that osteopathic students are required to pass. Osteopathic students are not required to take the USMLE, but many emergency medicine (EM) residency programs will not consider osteopathic applicants who only take the COMLEX. We examined program-level characteristics between programs that accept the COMLEX and those that prefer the USMLE using Emergency Medicine Residents’ Association (EMRA) Match, a free, publicly available, online catalogue of EM programs.
