ILLUMINATING THE MOMENTS THAT MATTER

Behind every moment of exceptional patient care lies an journey of preparation and growth, each experience building toward the ability to heal, comfort and save lives. Rigorous preparation translates into confident practice. Meaningful assessment drives continuous improvement. And the support learners receive today creates the physicians our communities need tomorrow.

As we strive to achieve optimal care for all, excellence in medical education is an imperative that touches every future patient. NBME is here to help realize this shared vision.

Introducing the New Communication Learning Assessment (CLA)

Effective patient care starts with strong communication, and meaningful, lasting learning requires room to practice.

CLA is a new formative tool that immerses pre-clerkship learners in realistic, patient-centered scenarios, helping them build the confidence and skills they'll carry into practice — before they ever work with patients. And ​​​​it’s available free of charge to all medical schools.
