KCOM Microbiology/Immunology Associate Professors Vineet K. Singh, Ph.D., and Melissa K. Stuart, Ph.D., recently received the title “Certified Item-Writer” for Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensure Examination of the United States (COMLEX-USA) examinations.
“I am pleased that all of the faculty in my department have reached this goal of certification,” said Microbiology/Immunology Chair and Associate Professor Neil J. Sargentini, Ph.D.
Drs. Singh and Stuart successfully completed the item-writing training course overseen by the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NBOME), which is a not-for-profit corporation that serves public and state licensing agencies by administering examinations testing the medical knowledge of those who seek to serve the public as osteopathic physicians.
