Recent NBME® Collaboration Advances Assessment

April 10, 2020

Recent research published in Academic Medicine revealed that USMLE® Step examinations (Step 1, Step 2 Clinical Knowledge, and Step 3) as well as ACP Internal Medicine In-Training Exams® (IM-ITE®) helped to predict examinees’ performance on ABIM’s Internal Medicine Certifying Exam (IM-CE).

“The collaborative data and idea-sharing among our groups helped us jointly convey a clear understanding of the utility of the in-training exam in the context of other high stakes assessments,” NBME Medical Advisor Miguel Paniagua, MD, said.
