The COMLEX PE Simulation is a mandatory formative assessment exercise designed to prepare you for the COMLEX PE Level II exam in Conshohocken, PA. As such, we have designed a series of six patient encounters [Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE's)] to reflect the actual examination as much as possible. You should visit the NBOME website and become familiar with the rules and procedures that you will be required to comply with during the actual exam at the NBOME testing center.
Location: Learning Assessment Center, Room A601 East Fee Hall.
Signing up for the Simulation: Registration information will be emailed to the class from the Learning Assessment Center (LAC) with the subject line: Registration Email for the COM COMLEX PE Simulation Exam. Students are to register for only one date and time. Available dates are: March 1, 2, 3 and April 7. Each student will receive confirmation of his/her scheduled examination date via email no later than ten (10) working days following the close of registration.
Please contact Evita Gilbert at gilber10@msu.edu if you have any problems registering or you do not receive your schedule confirmation.
