General Info

National Board of Medical Examiners is an independent, nonprofit organization that provides examinations for the health professions. NBME provides information and assistance to medical educators by producing assessment tools, known as subject examinations, made available to individual medical school departments to provide a measurement of knowledge in each of the traditional basic and clinical science disciplines, and to provide a means for comparing student performance with a nationwide reference group of medical students. It also provides testing, educational, consultative and research services to a number of medical specialty boards, societies and health sciences organizations. NBME was founded in 1915 and is based in Philadephia.
