American Medical Association Officially Recognizes COMLEX-USA’s Equality with USMLE — NBOME
Figured this would be an interesting place to post this for discussion.
Some noteble quotes from the article.
“The resolution provides that the AMA “promote equal acceptance of the USMLE and COMLEX at all United States residency programs.”
- so this sounds like the AMA is just promoting COMLEX acceptance but there isn’t anything actually enforcing program to actually accept it (I may be wrong but that’s just how I interpreted that statement).
“Further, that the AMA will “work with appropriate stakeholders, including, but not limited to the NBME, AAMC, NBOME, ACGME, and AOA to educate Residency Program Directors on how to interpret and use COMLEX scores.”
