Abstract
ABSTRACT To ensure the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination of the United States of America (COMLEX-USA) remains relevant and current in meeting the needs of the state licensing boards and other constituents, the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NBOME) has developed a new blueprint for an enhanced, competency-based examination program to be implemented with the COMLEX-USA Level 3 examination in late 2018. This article summarizes the evidence-based design processes on which the new blueprint is built, how it differs from the previous blueprint, and the evidence supporting its validity for the primary and intended purpose of COMLEX-USA — osteopathic physician licensure. It concludes with the changes being implemented by the NBOME to ensure COMLEX-USA remains current and meets the needs of its stakeholders, the state licensing boards.
