National Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners

The National Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners (NBPME) is an organization that develops and administers licensing exams for doctors of podiatric medicine—specialists who diagnose and treat conditions of the foot, ankle, and lower extremities. Its goal is to ensure that podiatrists have the necessary knowledge and skills to provide safe and effective care. The NBPME’s exams are a key part of the licensing process, helping state authorities verify that candidates meet professional standards before practicing medicine related to the foot and ankle.
