The Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination of the United States (COMLEX-USA or the Boards) is a series of three osteopathic medical licensing examinations administered by the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NBOME) similar to the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). COMLEX-USA is the most common pathway by which osteopathic physicians (D.O.s) apply for medical licensure, and is accepted in all 50 states. The 3-digit standard scores of COMLEX-USA Level 1, Level 2- Cognitive Evaluation (CE), and Level 3 have a range of 200-838 and a mean of 500. 400 is the minimum passing score for COMLEX-USA Levels 1 and 2; 350 for COMLEX-USA Level 3. == COMLEX-USA Level 1 == COMLEX-USA Level 1 is typically taken after completion of the second year of medical school. The exam consists of 400 questions administered in one day and consists of two, four-hour exam sessions separated by a 40-minute break. Each of the four-hour sessions allows a ten-minute break which is subtracted from the four-hour test time. Candidates are expected to know the basic mechanisms of health and disease process. The mean score for the COMLEX-USA Level 1 is 500, with a standard deviation of about 80 (although this may vary slightly from year to year), and is an important factor in determining a medical student's competitiveness when applying to residency programs. Student performance on COMLEX-USA Level 1 strongly correlates with MCAT biology section scores and undergraduate science GPA, as well as medical school grades. Specifically, level one covers basic medical sciences, including: *anatomy *behavioral science *biochemistry *microbiology *osteopathic principles *pathology *pharmacology *physiology 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「COMLEX-USA」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
