Just received my Comlex level 2 score of 422. I plan to apply to IM in Southern CA and wanted to get input on how achievable this is? I passed Comlex level 2 and level 1 in the first try and have never failed a class. I have not taken step 1 or 2. I plan to focus on community programs. Also I scored high on Internal medicine and Psych on the level 2 and was wondering if schools see the breakdown of your score and the fact that I scored well on the IM portion?

You will be fine. Apply broadly. If you really don't want to leave southern California I would add a few FM programs as back up. You can work as a hospitalist with FM if you prefer inpatient medicine.

Many cities are phasing out of letting fm be hospitalist so if they’re unwilling to leave SoCal for the specialty of choice training then they might have restrictions to locations that don’t allow fm hospitalist

Having said that, I support Fm hospitalist in closed ICU settings that had good inpatient training in training.
