Students are required to pass COMLEX
Level 1 CE, COMLEX Level 2 CE and COMLEX Level 2 PE of the National
Board of Osteopathic Examiners (NBOME) in order to graduate from the
Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine.
All eligible students will be required to take COMLEX Level 1 CE before
the first (summer) term of their third year. If a student is unable to
take the exam prior to the beginning of that term, he/she must write a
letter to the Assistant Dean of Clinical Education to request approval
for the delay. If a student fails COMLEX Level I CE on his/her initial
attempt, he/she may continue with classes, but is required to meet with
the Committee on Student Progress (CSP) to set up a board preparation
program. The student cannot
register for another exam until the board preparation program is
approved by the Dean. The
student is required to retake the exam by the end of October of his/her
third year. He/she may be allowed to participate in clinical rotations
while preparing for retaking the boards.
If the student fails the exam for the second time, he/she is required to
meet with the CORE Assistant Dean, CORE Administrator and the CSP to set
up a new remediation/board preparation proposal. A student could
be required to cease rotations in order to study.
Failure of COMLEX Level 1 CE for the fourth time is grounds for
dismissal from the College and ultimately problems with licensure in the
state of Ohio.
If the student fails the exam for the second time, he/she is required to
meet with the CORE Assistant Dean and CORE Administrator and the CSP to
set up a new remediation/board preparation proposal, which may include
repeating selected core rotations or ceasing rotations in order to
study. Failure of COMLEX Level 2 CE for the fourth time is grounds
for dismissal from the College and ultimately problems with licensure in
the state of Ohio.
If the student fails the exam for the second time, he/she may not
continue with clinical rotations as planned. The student is required to
meet with the CSP, the CORE Assistant Dean and Administrator to set up a
new remediation/board preparation proposal.
Failure of COMLEX Level 2 PE for the fourth time is grounds for
dismissal from the College and ultimately problems with licensure in the
state of Ohio.
If the Office of Student Affairs has not received notification that a
student has passed COMLEX Level 2 CE and COMLEX Level 2 PE in time to
clear the student for graduation (usually one week prior to graduation)
that student may be allowed to participate in graduation ceremonies but
will not receive a diploma until all graduation requirements are
complete.
