About NBME®

Founded in 1915 to elevate the standard of qualification for the practice of medicine and provide a means for the recognition of qualified persons to practice in any state, territory, or dependency of the United States, we continue to further advance the assessment of medical education. Together with the Federation of State Medical Boards, we develop and manage the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) and other academic assessments. We offer a portfolio of products that include assessment tools for every stage of the medical school journey, high-quality licensing exams, and a range of products and services for healthcare professionals and educators. We are a not-for-profit with the dedicated mission of protecting the public through state-of-the-art assessments for healthcare professionals.
