LIAISON COMMITTEE
The NBOME Liaison Committee serves to interact with and better understand the needs and perceptions of the NBOME’s stakeholder groups for COMLEX-USA and related programs, including the following: the public and State Medical Boards (AAOE, FSMB), osteopathic medical students, residents, and physicians (COSGP, SOMA, AOA-BEL), the osteopathic medical schools (AACOM), Graduate Medical Education and Residency Program Directors (AODME, OPDA/CMSS), and the AOA.
PEER ORGANIZATIONS
The NBOME works with peer organizations, such as AOA, AACOM, and AAOE, to amplify pride in the osteopathic profession and continued advocacy work on behalf of our students and physicians.
STATE OSTEOPATHIC ASSOCIATIONS AND LICENSURE BOARDS
The NBOME collaborates with several state osteopathic associations and state licensure boards to increase awareness about osteopathic students and their qualifications, particularly among residency programs.
COALITION FOR PHYSICIAN ACCOUNTABILITY
The NBOME participated in the Coalition for Physician Accountability’s UME to GME Review Committee, which in August 2021 published several recommendations to improve the UME-GME transition for DOs.
In particular, Recommendation 18 calls for the equitable treatment of residency applicants regardless of licensure examination, by entering COMLEX-USA and USMLE scores within a single field in ERAS.
STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
In June 2021, the NBOME formed the Student Experience Panel aimed at learning directly from learners about their experiences with and feedback on various NBOME initiatives as well as its products and services.
