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.Desc

DescCustom 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 2023, 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.Desc

Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.In 2021, NBME established a Philanthropy Fund in the amount of $100,000,000. This endowment fund and related philanthropic activities are intended to focus on protecting the health of the public by advancing assessment and medical education research to fortify licensing of health care professionals, driving equity, diversity and inclusion in medical and health professions by supporting learners who face socio-economic and other disadvantages and enabling initiatives that promote equity and inclusion in the profession and supporting the health of local communities. The Philanthropy Fund supports giving in the areas of medical education and research, learner supports, pathway programs and health equity. The Philanthropy Fund is included in NBMEs net assets without donor restrictions and is invested and professionally managed with the goal of providing investment returns over time to support annual grants or expenditures that meet the objectives of the fund. NBME has adopted a formal spending policy for the Philanthropy Fund. For years 2021-2023, disbursements from the fund will not exceed $5,000,000 annually. Beginning in 2024, the maximum funds to be disbursed from the Philanthropy Fund in any year will be equal to up to 5% of the trailing three-year average of the fund balance.
Part X : FIN48 FootnoteThe Internal Revenue Service has classified NBME as exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC).U.S. GAAP requires management to evaluate tax positions taken and recognize a tax liability, if NBME has taken uncertain tax positions that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by a government authority. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by NBME, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. NBME recognizes accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions, if any. There were no tax related interest or penalties recorded for either of the years ended December 31, 2023 or 2022.
