March 2026 NBME Impact Report: Measuring what matters

Posted March 17, 2026

For more than 110 years, NBME’s mission has been dedicated to ensuring our assessments measure what matters most in medical education. Our legacy began with elevating standards for the practice of medicine and surgery through national licensure assessment and has evolved to supporting the development of physicians throughout their journey. The latest edition of NBME Impact: A Community Report shows how we’re doing this by:

  • Deepening our capabilities and collaborations to advance the field of measurement and our own assessments. 
  • Introducing formative assessment resources and tools that help educators evaluate and grow learners’ skills and behaviors.
  • Furthering our mission through Contributions programs that advance assessment and promote optimal care for all. 

We encourage you to share the NBME Impact report with those within your educational and professional circles. Feel free to send any feedback about the content within this edition to NBMECommunications@nbme.org.
