The United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) is a three-step examination for medical licensure in the United States and is sponsored by the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) and NBME. The USMLE program supports medical licensing authorities in the United States through its leadership in the development, delivery, and continual improvement of high-quality assessments across the continuum of physicians' preparation for practice. It assesses a physician's ability to apply knowledge, concepts, and principles that are important in health and disease and that constitute the basis of safe and effective patient care.For further information visit www.usmle.org.Note: The expenses reflected above do not include management and general expenses.
Expenses $73,725,740 · Revenue $104,014,321

The Medical School and Student Services program provides assessment services to domestic and international medical schools, students, and residents. Assessments include the subject examination program, self-assessment services, and web-based examination programs and pilot projects. Subject exams measure achievement in the traditional basic and clinical science disciplines and are used to compare student performance with a national reference group. A series of web-based self-assessments are available to help students assess their readiness to take USMLE. Faculty services include item-writing workshops, and medical school liaison activities include the Advisory Committee for Medical School Programs.Note: The expenses reflected above do not include management and general expenses.

Custom Programs consist of a diverse portfolio of global customized assessment services and examination programs. The primary sources of revenue for Custom Programs are Health Profession Services, the Health and Wellness Coach Certifying Examination and the Post Licensure Assessment System. The Health Profession Services program provides comprehensive assessment, educational, consultative, and research services for healthcare organizations. During 2022, NBME's Health Profession Services worked with a variety of organizations to administer examinations for purposes of licensure and other evaluations of special competence for examination programs sponsored by health-related organizations. These organizations included allied health professional associations, members of the American Board of Medical Specialties, and medical societies. Examinations are administered worldwide, where applicable.NBME and the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching collaborate to provide the Health and Wellness Coach Certifying Examination. The collaboration provides an opportunity to draw upon the unique capabilities of each organization to provide a high-quality assessment for health and wellness coaches. Exam content is developed by nationally recognized leaders in the field of health and wellness coaching and covers areas such as coaching structure and process, health and wellness, and ethics.The Post-Licensure Assessment System (PLAS) is a joint activity of NBME and the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB). PLAS comprises two programs: the Special Purpose Examination (SPEX) Program and the Assessment Center Program (ACP). SPEX is a one-day, multiple-choice examination of current knowledge requisite for the general, undifferentiated practice of medicine and is intended to be used for reasons of endorsement or reciprocity of licensure. The ACP provides comprehensive objective and personalized assessments of physicians for whom there is a question regarding clinical competence. Together, the PLAS programs have assessed physicians for reasons that range from endorsement of licensure to license reactivation after disciplinary action.Note: The expenses reflected for Custom Programs on Part III, line 4c do not include management and general expenses.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)
- Part I, Line 1a: Relevant information in regards to selections on 1a.
- Travel PolicyNBME's Business Travel policy states that the most cost effective options available based on the traveler's requested itinerary should be made. First-class travel and travel for companions are not specifically authorized in the policy. In limited circumstances, certain NBME Officers and Key Employees may be permitted first-class travel if authorized by the President. First-class travel and companion travel for the President are included in the compensation package. The cost incurred for travel for companions is included in the employee's taxable earnings.
- Part III, Additional Information

In addition, column C includes the amount contributed by NBME to an eligible employee's defined contribution plan, as well as earnings accrued under the Exective Deferred Compensation Plan where applicable. The amount in column C does not represent an actual cash payment to the employee during the year, but an estimate of the accrued benefit during the year to be received at a later date or at the time of retirement.
