WelCOM provides osteopathic medical students with the opportunity to identify areas of strengths and weakness in the blueprint areas for COMLEX-USA Levels 1 and 2-CE and start their preparation accordingly. With WelCOM, students can learn in real-time whether their answer was right or wrong, and why. Students can also access resource material for additional study. Learn more about WelCOM.
