About

At the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME), we are committed to advancing the assessment of health care professionals to ensure optimal care for all. Our mission is broad, encompassing not just the assessment of physicians but also the entire spectrum of health professions along the continuum of education, training, and practice. Since our founding in 1915, we have developed a portfolio of high-quality assessment tools tailored for every stage of medical education. We pride ourselves on our collaboration with medical educators and practicing physicians who contribute their expertise to ensure the creation of top-notch examinations, thus maintaining our high standards. Our capabilities extend into research as we engage in rigorous evaluation processes to enhance assessment methodologies. This includes leveraging advanced psychometric techniques and integrating insights from ongoing studies by our research teams. Furthermore, we have initiatives to empower medical educators through funding for grants and professional development. NBME believes in fostering diversity and compassion within the health care workforce which ultimately contributes to better patient care outcomes. We continuously strive to meet the shifting demands of the healthcare landscape, working closely with stakeholders to shape the future of medical assessments.
