NBME (National Board of Medical Examiners)

The National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) is a nonprofit organization that develops and administers secure exams to assess the knowledge and skills of medical students and physicians. Its assessments, such as the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), ensure that medical professionals meet established standards of competency and are qualified to practice medicine safely. The NBME's tests are widely recognized and used to help licensing authorities determine readiness for medical practice, ultimately protecting public health by maintaining high standards in medical education and certification.
