please help! i was wondering, have any do's actually matched to allopathic fellowships that have only taken comlex? some people have told me that taking usmle, even usmle step2 is necc. while other's have said that no one cares as long as you have your comlex is enough.

probably depends on where you apply. don't forget you can apply for the DO fellowships as well.

i would think it's safe to say that not having a USMLE score puts you at a big disadvantage for most programs, but i'm sure there are some that accept just comlex.

I agree with the above post that it depends on where you apply. I never took USMLE and applied to a competitive fellowship and landed a spot. That being said, I did do the osteopathic internship plus allopathic IM residency. Hope this helps!
