CS II Examination

OMA advocates for our state medical board to eliminate the USMLE Step 2 CS and the COMLEX Level 2-PE as a requirement for LCME-accredited and COCA-accredited medical school graduates who have passed a school-administered, clinical skills examination; and for the appropriate state medical associations and medical licensure stakeholders to work on the creation of a mutually agreed-upon standardized clinical skills examination to be administered at each LCME-accredited and COCA-accredited medical school in lieu of USMLE Step 2 CS and COMLEX Level 2-PE and as a substitute prerequisite for future licensure exams.

Adopted by the Board of Trustees, October 2016.
