  • Should Osteopathic Students Applying to Allopathic Emergency Medicine Programs Take the USMLE Exam?
    ORIGINAL RESEARCH Should Osteopathic Students Applying to Allopathic Emergency Medicine Programs Take the USMLE Exam? Moshe Weizberg, MD Staten Island University Hospital, Department of Emergency Medicine, Staten Island, Dara Kass, MD New York Abbas Husain, MD Jennifer Cohen Barry Hahn, MD Supervising Section Editor: Juan F. Acosta, MD Submission history: Submitted February 14, 2013; Revision received May 28, 2013; Accepted August 13, 2013 Electronically published February 1, 2014 Full text available through open access at http://escholarship.org/uc/uciem_westjem DOI: 10.5811/westjem.2013.8.16169 Introduction: Board scores are an important aspect of an emergency medicine (EM) residency application. Residency directors use these standardized tests to objectively evaluate an applicant’s potential and help decide whether to interview a candidate. While allopathic (MD) students take the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), osteopathic (DO) students take the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX). It is difficult to compare these scores. Previous literature proposed an equation to predict USMLE based on COMLEX. Recent analyses suggested this may no longer be accurate. DO students applying to allopathic programs frequently ask whether they should take USMLE to overcome this potential disadvantage. The objective of the study is to compare the likelihood to match of DO applicants who reported USMLE to those who did not, and to clarify how important program directors consider it is whether or not an osteopathic applicant reported a USMLE score. Methods: We conducted a review of Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) and National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) data for 2010-2011 in conjunction with a survey of EM residency programs.

Colleges and universities need to address the mental health of students on their campuses. Poor mental health hinders students’ academic success; untreated mental health issues may lead to lower GPAs, discontinuous enrollment, and too often, lapses in enrollment. An institution’s investment in student mental health is important for the social, educational, and economic well-being of students, their campuses, and broader society. Investing time and resources in student mental health can result in academic and economic benefits for an institution and society. College presidents profiled in this report demonstrate some of the ways campus leaders can take action: 1. Speak out about mental health—reduce stigmas and help students feel that it is normal to express mental health concerns and seek help. 2. Pursue partnerships to ensure a campus-wide, comprehensive approach to mental health care, promotion, and prevention.
