COMLEX-USA Blueprint
The Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination of the United States (COMLEX-USA) is the pathway to licensure for osteopathic physicians seeking to practice medicine. It is the principal means by which the NBOME delivers on its mission to protect the public by providing assessment of competencies for osteopathic physicians and related health care professions.
