Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Osteopathic Medicine Program 2024–2025 163 • Students will be required to enroll in the summer semester COM 6990 course. − Achieving a score of 450, or above, on the COMSAE Version examination administered during COM 6990 is a requirement of this class. − The passing of the two COMSAE practice exams that are provided to the students in the beginning of the winter semester is not a requirement of COM 6990, but it is recommended that students take these practice COMSAEs prior to the start of the COM 6990 course. Students may take the practice COMSAEs during the winter semester at times they determine in either the “timed” or “untimed” format. • During the COM 6990 course − Students will take all COMSAE attempts for the COM 6990 course under “testing” conditions on the Fort Lauderdale/ Davie Campus or the Tampa Bay Regional Campus on a date determined by the course director, or students may elect to sit for the exam at an approved testing center at their own expense. (Please note that Prometric test centers do not administer COMSAE exams.) − Students who earn at least a minimum score of 450 on the required COMSAE will be eligible to take the COMLEX Level 1 examination. • Students who do not earn at least a minimum score of 450 on the first administration of the COMSAE must meet with a faculty adviser in the Department of Medical Education to review the individual performance profile and establish an individualized study plan. Students are required to complete the study plan and retake the COMSAE as part of COM 6990. Students who achieve at least a minimum score of 450 on the second administration of the COMSAE will be eligible to take the COMLEX Level 1 examination. • Students who do not earn at least a minimum score of 450 on the second administration of the COMSAE will be required to meet with a faculty adviser in the Department of Medical Education to review the individual performance profiles from the first and second attempts and establish an individualized study plan. The students are required to complete the study plan prior to taking the third and final COMSAE. Failure to achieve at least a minimun score of 450 on the third and final administration of the COMSAE will result in failure of the COM 6990 course, and those students will not be eligible to take the COMLEX Level 1. Students who fail the COM 6990 course for the first time will retake the course, which will provide three separate opportunities to achieve at least a minimum score of 450 in the same manner as prescribed for the first attempt at COM 6990. Students who fail the COM 6990 course for the first time will not be eligible to start rotations until successful completion of the COM 6990 course. However, all students will still be required to attend their core site orientation. Students who fail the course a second time will be referred to the SPC and will be subject to dismissal. All students who achieve at least a minimum score of 450 on the COMSAE and are in good academic standing are eligible to take COMLEX Level 1.
