Evaluation of board preparation resources

Abstract

Medical licensing examinations are a three-part test that begins after the second year of medical school. Students are always searching for premier preparation resources that will help them score high on these exams. In this study, a team of four professionals and a medical student developed a survey and administered it to Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine Class of 2022 asking them to evaluate how board preparation resources aided their study for COMLEX-USA Level 1. The study showed results of an average of the questions completed and months spent preparing by students, while also shining a light on which resources they found most useful and valuable. This work can aid future classes in providing a start of which resources to consider in preparation for medical licensing examinations.
