I know this information has got to be on this board somewhere, and certainly on the net somewhere, but I swear I searched and couldn't find it! Around when is the USMLE Step I held, and when is the COMLEX I held? Thanks!

Around when is the USMLE Step I held

Year-round, with most students taking it May-July prior to their 3rd year.

and when is the COMLEX I held? Thanks!

COMLEX I dates this year are June 8-9, and October 12-13.

Thanks so much! Do most students taking both take the COMLEX first, or the USMLE? What is recommended by any students who have taken both?

Here are some threads where people are discussing taking both exams. Keep in mind the COMLEX dates you were given a few posts ago & it'll give you an idea of how people were scheduling the two.

Why is the COMLEX not a computerized exam?

I've heard that DO's prescribe garlic for a lot of different illnesses. Is this true? If so, don't you get bad breath when you eat all that garlic.

Did you eat paint chips as a child? Just wondering.....
