Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine—Osteopathic Medicine Program 55 COM 8990—Clinical Academic Review (M4 Core) The study of the medical sciences contains a broad scope of knowledge in both science disciplines and organ systems of the body. Additionally, students must be able to analyze and apply knowledge to diagnose presentations and conditions of patients, as well as to synthesize and evaluate data to develop treatment and management plans for patients presenting with varying conditions. It is essential to master this knowledge, as the medical licensing/examinations are required to graduate from the Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine. This course provides students with an in-depth review of medical science content, clinical case study, practice exam questions, and a mock board examination. This online independent study course provides resources to the students and allows them to work at their own pace to prepare for the COMLEX Level 2CE licensing examination. It provides several opportunities to assess knowledge and track the student’s progression toward preparation.
