I'm a MS III at a DO/MBA program who has passed both Comlex (506) and USMLE (204). I'm looking into staying in Kansas for residency because I have an underserved scholarship requirement after residency. My question is, does either KU Med or UMKC require a Step II score if you have passed both Comlex, USMLE Step I, and Comlex II. Right now looking into going into Internal Medicine with an interest in hospitalist. Will a rotation with a program director get me an interview, or do they throw away applications not having USMLE step 2 scores?

Any info would be great,

Im guessing that this is a question you should be asking the specific program? If both (KU, UMKC) are MD approved residencies, then I am guessing that you would have to had passed usmle step 2, regardless of what specialty/field you desire to go into. If they accept the comlex in PLACE of the usmle, then use those.
