Association Between Performance on COMLEX-USA and the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians In-Service Examination.

Background: The primary goal of residency programs is to select and educate qualified candidates to become competent physicians. Program directors often use performance on licensure examinations to evaluate the ability of candidates during the resident application process. The American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians (ACOFP) administers an in-service examination (ISE) to residents annually.
