Hey guys
I am a third year DO student, I have taken both usmle and comlex step 1. I am confused about whether I need to take both usmle and comlex step 2. I know that some programs state plainly on their websites if they require usmle 2. However, for allopathic institutions where this is not stated plainly and for dually accredited programs I am not sure ? Also not sure what to make Upenn since it is a allopathic school but has an AOA residency
I anticipate being told to call/email programsn directly; I have been waiting to hear back from several programs for about a week now, and need to sign up for step 2 soon because of a difficult rotation schedule at the end of my third year
I dont mind taking usmle step 2 if needed, but the combined costs for both step 2 exams is something around 3700 so if it is not needed I obviously would not do it
any help would be appreciated
thanks
