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.
Advancing causes that advance medical education
From scholarships and pathway programs to grants, fellowships and community support, we are committed to supporting causes that impact the medical education, assessment, and health care communities.
A roadmap for growth
Students can gauge progress and target studies throughout the educational journey with NBME Self-Assessments, and view results in the INSIGHTS ® dashboard to track growth over time.
Creating new learning opportunities
We’re evolving what and how we assess to better support learners by offering more chances to practice the knowledge and skills needed to excel in practice.
