Blue Ribbon Panel on Enhancing COMLEX-USA
OMEL 2013
• Research and expert consensus on enhancement of COMLEX-USA to assure that it continues to reflect the evolving practice of osteopathic medicine
• Evolving towards a competency-based schema (published Fundamental Osteopathic Medical Competency Domains document-July 2011); extensive blueprint work being completed in 2012-2013
• Organizations with representatives on the panel: FSMB, AOA, AAOE, OPDA/CMSS, ACGME, AODME, AACOM, ECOP, NBOME
• Blue Ribbon Panel Update and 10 Recommendations posted to NBOME Website March 21, 2012

10 BLUE RIBBON PANEL RECOMMENDATIONS DECEMBER 2011
www.nbome.org
© 2012 NBOME
www.nbome.org
• RECOMMENDATION #1
– The NBOME will adopt a two-decision point model for the COMLEX-USA examination whereby:
• A series of assessments will lead to a decision for entry into supervised practice, i.e., in residency/GME training (Decision Point 1).
• A series of assessments will lead to a decision for entry into unsupervised practice, i.e., unrestricted licensure (Decision Point 2).
– Implementation will begin with assessments for Decision Point 2.
• RECOMMENDATION #2
– All osteopathic competency domains will be assessed at each of the two decision points.
• RECOMMENDATION #3
– At a minimum, cognitive (predominantly multiple choice question-based) and clinical skills examinations will continue to comprise the COMLEX-USA examination at Decision Point 1; cognitive examinations will comprise assessments used at Decision Point 2.
COMLEX-USA Blue Ribbon Panel Update

www.nbome.org
• RECOMMENDATION #4
– The NBOME will adopt a new COMLEX-USA examination blueprint, to include the following dimensions:
• Patient Presentations (Replaces current Dimension 1 – Clinical Presentation)
• Competency Domains (Replaces current Dimension 2 – Physician Tasks)
• Lifecycle (New Dimension 3)
• RECOMMENDATION #5
– The NBOME will create a new item bank (repository for examination items) to support the enhanced COMLEX-USA examination. Concurrently, item coding procedures will be reviewed to reflect this new blueprint for the series.
• RECOMMENDATION #6
– COMLEX-USA cognitive examinations will continue to provide pass-fail as well as numeric scores, while the clinical skills assessments will provide pass-fail determinations only.
COMLEX-USA Blue Ribbon Panel Update

www.nbome.org
• RECOMMENDATION #7
– The NBOME will continue to develop and pilot test novel test items and formats to assess an expanded competency subset. These novel item types include: clinical decision-making (CDM)/key features clinical case formats, authentic patient presentations with audiovisual clips, heart and lung sounds, evidenced-based medicine items such as pharmaceutical advertisement items and abstract interpretation items, etc.
• RECOMMENDATION #8
– The NBOME shall provide a display-worthy document (e.g. a certificate) to all candidates who successfully pass all components of COMLEX-USA.
• RECOMMENDATION #9
– The NBOME will explore expanded eligibility criteria and/or a portfolio model for certain competency domains.
• RECOMMENDATION #10
– Documentation of SOAP notes on the COMLEX-USA Level-2 Performance Evaluation will transition from paper-and-pencil written notes to computer keyboard entry by July 2014

– You cannot retake the test for a higher score if you pass
• Score Reporting (2-digit, 3-digit and percentiles and pass/fail)
• Scores for COMLEX-USA – Mean score – 500
– COMLEX-USA Level 1 passing score – 400
– COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE passing score – 400
– COMLEX-USA Level 2-PE- provides “pass/fail” only
– COMLEX-USA Level 3 passing score – 350
• When are COMLEX-USA results available? – Cognitive Examinations (Level 1, 2-CE, 3): 4-6 weeks after exam
– Level 2-Performance Evaluation: 8-10 weeks after exam
