Statement Regarding COMLEX-USA Level 1 Score Report

March 3, 2023

We have been made aware that staff at several clinical rotation sites have requested that osteopathic medical students share the formative performance profile pages that accompany the COMLEX-USA Level 1 Pass/Fail Score Reports. They reportedly were unaware that this information is only shared with the osteopathic medical student and their dean for continuous professional development proposes and to foster a growth mindset, and is not intended to be shared outside of that purpose/relationship. They were also unaware that this places the student in a difficult position in that students are discouraged from sharing this information for other purposes.

To that end, we have drafted a memo for any clinical rotation site staff or programs who request this formative information to clarify its purpose.
