COMLEX vs USMLE

Hello,

My question is, where can I find information from places that will just accept Comlex scores. I have taken just the COMLEX STEP 1 and didn't do amazing. However, because of that I am considering taking both COMLEX Step 2 and USMLE Step 2 (not sure if this is advisable). Otherwise, what places accepts only COMLEX? Anyone know? Or is there a list out there that I haven't found?

Thanks so much!!

All PM&R programs accept COMLEX. With or without USMLE.

The reason I am asking is because I was asking someone from Georgetown in DC about their Med-Peds program. They said they won't even consider you if you don't have USMLE scores. I don't know how any of their other programs are such as Pediatrics, Internal, etc.

So I wanted to know if there were any PM&R programs I should just avoid rotating as a medical student at because it would be a waste of time since they wouldn't consider me if I didn't have the USMLE scores.

Thanks for the response!
