What's on the COMLEX-USA Level 1

  • Osteopathic Principles and Practice (OPP)
  • Anatomy
  • Behavioral Health
  • Biochemistry
  • Microbiology
  • Pathology
  • Pharmacology
  • Physiology

Why it's hard

COMLEX Level 1 adds OPP (osteopathic principles) on top of USMLE-style content. DO students often prep with USMLE Step 1 materials and underweight OPP-specific topics — Chapman points, viscerosomatics, counterstrain.

How Fennie helps

Fennie's Daily Plans include a dedicated OPP track (Chapman points, sympathetics, treatment principles) alongside standard basic-science review, so you're not bolting OPP on at the end.

A sample week of prep

  1. 01Mon — OPP: cervical/thoracic + Chapman points
  2. 02Tue — Cardio pharm + OPP visceral
  3. 03Wed — Renal phys + OPP sacral
  4. 04Thu — Pathology + OPP rib mechanics
  5. 05Fri — Microbiology + OPP review
  6. 06Sat — Full timed practice section
  7. 07Sun — Review and regenerate plan

Sample only — your real Fennie plan adapts daily based on what you got wrong, what you ignored, and how close you are to test day.

Frequently asked questions

Should DO students take Step 1 too?

Optional since the pass/fail change. Many DO students take only COMLEX now unless applying to specific MD-dominant residencies that still emphasize Step.

How much OPP is on the exam?

Roughly 15-20% of the exam. It's the single largest section of OPP-only content you'll see.

Does Fennie have OPP flashcards?

Yes — Daily Plans include spaced-repetition flashcards on Chapman points, viscerosomatic levels, and OMT techniques.
