Online, one-on-one board prep for New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine students.
$349 per 50-minute session
Jonesboro's medical school is NYITCOM-Arkansas, the Arkansas location of the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine, whose main campus is in Old Westbury on Long Island (school list). It sits on the Arkansas State University campus, and the college names the Mississippi Delta region as the community it trains doctors for (NYITCOM-Arkansas).
Because it is one college with two campuses, most of what NYITCOM publishes, from the student handbook to its board results, covers Jonesboro and Long Island together. The Jonesboro-specific facts are the campus, the regional clinical network and the hospitals in town: St. Bernards Medical Center and NEA Baptist Memorial Hospital are the two Jonesboro hospitals on the CMS teaching hospital list (CMS teaching hospital list).

With clinical sites spread over Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and Missouri (see the facts above), a third-year NYITCOM-Arkansas student can be on a rural rotation far from Jonesboro when a shelf exam or COMLEX date comes up, on a different schedule each block. Online sessions follow the student instead of the campus, which is why we schedule Jonesboro students around their rotation calendar, block by block, and move sessions when a rotation's hours change.
St. Bernards Medical Center and Baptist Memorial Medical Education in Jonesboro both run internal medicine residencies listed in ABIM's 2023-2025 residency program pass-rate report, so some Jonesboro graduates can stay in town for residency and later sit the ABIM internal medicine exam.
Because NYITCOM makes both COMLEX Level 1 and Level 2-CE graduation requirements (the handbook rule is quoted below), a Jonesboro student has two must-pass exams before the DO, and for a graduate who is licensed in Arkansas each one also counts against the state's limit of three attempts. We plan Level 1 so it is sat once, then carry the same question habits through the rotations into Level 2-CE, the exam the college's published 92.71% first-time pass rate refers to.

On the CMS teaching hospital list (October 2026):
New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine (Jonesboro campus) states: “Students are required to pass COMLEX-USA Level 1 and Level 2 CE, as well as the Core Clinical Competencies Seminar series as a requirement for graduation.” (NYITCOM Student Handbook (2025-2026), 2025-2026; this is the college-wide policy).
NYITCOM grants the DO, so the licensing series is COMLEX-USA: Level 1, then Level 2-CE, both required to graduate, and Level 3 in residency. Many DO students also sit USMLE Step 1 or Step 2 CK for residency programs that compare them with MD applicants; our Level 2 vs Step 2 CK guide sets the two side by side.
Each core rotation in the regional network ends in a shelf exam, so Jonesboro students usually carry shelf prep and COMLEX prep at the same time in third year.
Arkansas allows fewer attempts than the USMLE program's own four per Step: its medical board allows 3 attempts per USMLE Step and 3 per COMLEX Level, and lists no time limit for finishing either series (FSMB). For a Jonesboro graduate who stays in Arkansas, that third attempt is the last one, so we plan each Level to be sat once, when practice scores are ready.
Arkansas asks for 1 year of postgraduate training before a first license; international graduates need 3 years unless they are currently in a training program through the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (FSMB). Every Arkansas school and the full board wording are on our Arkansas tutoring page.
Jonesboro's metro area ranks 1st in the US for “COMLEX Level 2” searches over the past five years, with the top score of 100, and 13th for “USMLE” with 57 (Google Trends, retrieved October 2026). Level 2-CE is the second of the two COMLEX exams NYITCOM requires for graduation. Scores are relative, not counts of students.

I worked with Sean and Sahith and they both did an amazing job of not only teaching me content, but also important test taking strategies. They gave me a systematic approach that boosted my confidence and helped me pass the exam!
