NBME Quizzes & Trivia

What is the NBME? They’re the National Board of Medical Examiners. We guess you already knew that! They’re a not-for-profit and independent organization. They provide the public with top notch assessments of healthcare professionals. Their mission is to protect the health of the public. They also develop and manage the USMLE. It sounds exciting, doesn’t it? There’s more.
 
Together with the Federation of State Medical Boards and Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates they cosponsor the USMLE. Individual boards may grant the license to practice medicine; however, the US accepts a USMLE pass for a candidate to demonstrate they’re competent to practice medicine. The NBME have a collection of online lessons for members interested in learning various topics relating to high quality assessments. If you’re a practicing medical practitioner, student or just curious to test your knowledge, take these tests and see if you’ve what it takes to develop your assessment skills.
