Over the past couple of years, I’ve found myself in the middle of a fight between DO medical students and the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners. At issue is whether DO students should be compelled to take the COMLEX-USA - which creates a de facto requirement for DO students to take two licensing examinations, since residency program directors prefer USMLE.
In this video, I’ll provide a basic overview of this acrimonious dispute; explain why the DO students are right (and will eventually win); review the NBOME’s options; and explain what I would do if I led the NBOME in order to save the organization, help osteopathic medical students, and make medical education and patient care better, too.
