Tips on passing the COMLEX PE (Physical Assessment)
The COMLEX PE is a test designed for the physician to demonstrate their physical diagnosis and patient interaction skills for core competencies. To pass this test make sure that you do the following on EVERY patient, regardless of their chief complaint(s). - Inquire about medications, allergies, past medical/surgical history, family history, and social history (don't forget the social history!) - Cover preventive medicine in your encounter regardless of chief complaint (i.e. if you have someone that smokes two packs a day, cover smoking cessation) - Do a *brief* complete exam on every patient (Eyes, ears, throat, heart, lungs, abdomen, neurological..etc) - Wash your hands before examining every patient - Drape every patient before examining them. - Don't worry too much about making an accurate diagnosis. Put down as many relevant differential diagnoses as possible on your SOAP note. (up to 5) - Make your SOAP Notes legible - Use OMT on patients with wrist pain, back pain, neck pain and other musculoskeletal complaints. Relax and have fun with the exam. Be sure to get plenty of sleep the night before. The examination proctors are all nice people. Lunch is provided for you. Remember to smile! Good luck and congratulations in advance on becoming a physician!
