The scope of clinical practice shown by the life-long learning model demonstrates the increasing sophistication in clinical knowledge and experience physicians use in making health care decisions.

As a further assessment point for many osteopathic physicians, COMVEX comprehensively evaluates the broad scope of unsupervised clinical practice.

Examination Structure · Dimensions 1 & 2

• Dimension 1: includes seven competency domains, which comprise foundational abilities representing the required elements and outcomes that define knowledge, skills, experience, attitudes, values, behaviors, and established professional standards.
• Dimension 2: includes ten clinical presentations, which represent the manner in which a particular patient, group of patients, or a community present for osteopathic medical care.

All items on COMVEX examinations are carefully selected and reviewed by the members of the COMVEX review committee, which consists of practicing osteopathic clinicians and/or osteopathic medical school faculty members with subject-specific expertise.
