Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Osteopathic Medicine Program 2023–2024 162 third year and must enroll in and complete a structured board review program (4-12 weeks) that is approved by the assistant dean of Medical Education. This program is at the student’s own expense. The student must take COMLEX I (third attempt) after submitting proof of completion of the board review program to the Office of Medical Education. Students who are successful will return to clinical rotations. 4. Starting with students who matriculated in the fall of 2018, any student who has not received a passing grade for COMLEX Level 1 after the third attempt (see Completion Requirements for COMLEX Examinations) will be referred to the SPC and will be subject to dismissal. 5. If a student is granted an LOA or administrative break in enrollment in the M3 year, prior to successfully passing COMLEX Level 1, the examination dates may be adjusted accordingly, subject to approval from the dean’s office. 6. Students who fail to comply with any of the above set testing date requirements, for the first time, will receive a letter of unprofessional behavior in their academic file and are required to fulfill the requirement within 30 days of notification or as soon as possible thereafter (according to NBOME open examination times). 7. S tudents who fail to comply with the above set testing date requirements a second time (i.e., failing to fulfill the requirement within 30 days of notification or as soon as possible thereafter) will be put on behavioral probation and are required to fulfill the requirement within 30 days or as soon as possible thereafter (according to NBOME open examination times). 8. Students who fail to comply with the above set testing date requirements a third time (i.e., failing to fulfill the requirement within 30 days of second notification or as soon as possible thereafter) will have to appear before the SPC and are subject to disciplinary action, up to, and including, dismissal. c. Time Line for COMLEX Level 2-Cognitive Evaluation (CE) 1. Students will first be allowed to sit for the COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE examination after completion of the M3 curriculum and the M4 Board Study course, provided they have passed COMLEX Level 1 and are in good academic standing without restrictions. COM 8990 is a course that all M4 students will register for, but the timing of the block will be determined by the student. A student may not take the COMLEX level 2-CE until the last week of the student’s allotted board study block. 2. It is strongly recommended that the COMLEX Level 2-CE be taken at least once by September 30 of the student’s M4 year to maximize the student’s ability to be successful in the residency match process. 3. Students will not be allowed any additional board study time for any USMLE Step examinations. 4. A student who has failed COMLEX Level 2-CE for the first time will be removed from clinical rotations and placed on a mandatory administrative break in enrollment for a 4-week period of time for board study. If a student is on rotations when failing the first attempt, the student may complete the rotation before this administrative break in enrollment begins. During this time, the student must establish an academic counseling relationship with the Department of Medical Education. The student must retake the boards during the last week of the time away from training or as soon as possible thereafter (according to NBOME open examination times). The student will return to the scheduled clinical rotations pending the results of the COMLEX Level 2-CE exam.
