No Longer Silent Medical Student

Advocate for osteopathic medical students everywhere. @NBOME's worst nightmare. The exploitation must end. #NoMoreExploitation #WeWillEndTheCorruption

[No Longer Silent Medical Student @LongerMedical]

@NBOME your usefulness has ended. COMLEX is nothing but a hindrance to DO students and the criminal @john_gimpel continues as your head. We demand his immediate dismissal for his actions regarding Level 2 PE. We will not forget.

In the wake of @hasanminhaj’s ill-informed comments about DOs on the Tonight Show, seems like a good time to ask:

In the year 2021, does insisting upon a ‘separate but equal’ licensing examination help or hurt DOs? Do we still need the NBOME?

I say no.

@NBOME suspending COMLEX Level 2 PE indefinitely was the right move. We cannot forget their actions up to this point. We must change the osteopathic system. Students are still being exploited. We are the future

Now if only @NBOME would see reason and follow the leader. Funny thing is, if NBOME had put students over profits first and cancelled Level 2 PE everyone would be calling on NBME to get rid of Step 2CS. Then #DOs would be leading. #MedTwitter #MedEd #studentsafety

Not surprising at all after all that has happened this year. It is clear that the @AOAforDOs only cares for the public image of the profession, and has no regards for the students themselves. No future DO should EVER support them. #takethepledge

Not only did they cancel, they offered refunds to those who already took it and also reimbursement for travel expenses. This should be the gold standard when Level 2 PE is cancelled, don't you think @AOAforDOs @NBOME @AACOMmunities #MedTwitter #MedStudentTwitter

With Valentine’s Day coming up I am:

❌ Single

❌ In a committed relationship

✅ Unable to afford any kind of date/gift because I was needlessly forced to pay the @NBOME $1,300 for a test with no proven benefit that only 34% of programs use to RANK applicants

The NBPME exam is delivered at the PE site in PA. Osteopathic students are the only medical students still mandated to take a clinical skills exam. We will not be exploited. We will never forget how you have treated us. We are the future.

Do you have a response @AOAforDOs? Your silence is deafening. #MedTwitter #MedStudentTwitter #CancelComlexPE

[PRN Med Podcast @PRNmedpodcast]

USMLE Step 2 CS was suspended. This brought conversation towards COMLEX Level 2-PE and consideration of the continuation of this exam. Join Alana (@alanaines) this week as she chats with Dr. Bryan Carmody, MD and Dr. Harris Ahmed, DO. @drharrislakers @jbcarmody

Available now!

[Lowly Medical Student @LowlyMedical]

Good listen. Incredible that the @AOAforDOs remains silent on this issue, refusing to provide a public statement of support for DO students on this topic. #MedStudentTwitter #medtwitter

Not Budging On Meaningless Exams

Nearly a YEAR after CS was postponed. Nearly a YEAR after a pandemic swept the planet and the @NBOME
now asks for our patience in these matters? Too little to late. We deserve better than this! #medtwitter #MedStudentTwitter

@JMoran_DO @NBOME I love this take on it. I rt it everywhere.

🚨Attention #medtwitter #MedStudentTwitter🚨 Looking for a way to help #cancelcomlexPE? See below for a great thread on who you can contact. Reform is needed if the profession is to survive, and this is a great place to start. DO students deserve better.

Ab$olutely no idea what the motivation for the @NBOME admini$tering the PE in thi$ fa$hion i$. They place empha$i$ on the need for thi$ particular format at their facilitie$ to protect patient$, but it could fea$ibly be done on campu$e$ nationwide with = outcome$. #CancelComlexPE

[Nothing sandwich @Nothingsandwic1]

@NBOME you're saying one of two things... morbidity/mortality related to a massive influx of people taking this test is worth it as long as you're benefitting financially OR you don't understand the basics of epidemiology. Which is it? #cancelcomlexpe

[Joe Moran @JMoran_DO]

Every DO school I know of has their own standardized patients and all the technology to conduct the test there. It’s always been insane to make students, who have no money, travel to Conshohocken PA to take a test that could be done on their own campus @NBOME

@londyloo Meanwhile osteopathic students watching their examining board @NBOME just rob them over a useless exam. I love a good backwoods Robinhood. Take from the poor to give to the rich
