I believe I have eliminated all of the vague, promotional wording that seemed to just mirror the USMLE website. Planning to remove the weasel and peackok tags. Please let me know your thoughts. MedGME ( talk) 01:07, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 2 external links on

my edit. If necessary, add {{

after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}

This section was replaced with completely opposing information. I have readded the previous version and flagged it as contradictory. If only opposing primary sources are available it may be more sensible for the section to disappear. PriceDL ( talk) 15:39, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello all! I noticed that the articles for most comparable standardized tests have Infoboxes. I've created one and I'm dropping the code here along with a request for inclusion. Any thoughts, feedback and discussion would be appreciated. Thanks!

The opening paragraph of this article has a major factual error and I'd like to suggest that someone correct it. The error is in the following sentence:
Physicians with a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree must pass either the USMLE or the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX) exam for medical licensure. [1] [2]
fmsb
was invoked but never defined (see the
help page).The either/or language suggests that DOs can avoid taking COMLEX by taking the USMLE. This is not true as all DOs have to pass COMLEX for graduation and licensure. The source of the error is that many DOs are taking USMLE and COMLEX due to how competitive residency programs have become. Program director frequently rank candidates according to USMLE scores and DO candidate want to make it easier for those making the selections to see where they rank. Converting COMLEX scores for a fair comparison with USMLE scores can be complex. I have suggested a rewrite below.
"Many physicians with a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree now take the USMLE exam to improve their chances of obtaining their desired residency placement." [1] [2]

The following two statements appear to be unsupported by the cited source:
The first sentence is completely unsupported by the source and the second discusses the results of a specific study as if they applied to all test takers. Since this is not in keeping with encyclopedic standards usually expected by the Wikipedia community, I would like to propose that these sentences be removed if no one can salvage them with an acceptable source. Any feedback or differing opinions are welcomed. SBCornelius ( talk) 21:02, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
