Breaking DOwn barriers through advocacy

While I was researching residency programs in pathology, I noticed many required minimum COMLEX-USA scores with percentiles dramatically higher than those of the minimum requirements for USMLE. I shared this on Twitter, and the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NBOME) quickly responded to learn more about what I was seeing. At the outset, I was surprised to hear from them, but through our joint efforts, I learned that advocacy really does work.
