NEW WEB-BASED SELF-ASSESSMENT SERVICE NOW AVAILABLE
The National Board of Medical Examiners(r) (NBME(r)) has introduced a new
web-based self-assessment program for basic science content for U.S. and
international medical students and graduates. The Comprehensive Basic
Science Self-Assessment (CBSSA) uses multiple-choice items based on
information typically covered during basic science medical education courses
in the United States. The content of the CBSSA items resembles the content
of those in Step 1 of the United States Medical Licensing Examination(tm)
(USMLE(tm)). Although the CBSSA is not intended to predict performance on
Step 1, individuals preparing to take Step 1 may find the CBSSA to be a
valuable tool.
The CBSSA is available via the Internet. Interested individuals can request,
pay for and take the assessment from their home computers. Users can choose
to take the assessment in a timed format or can complete the items at their
own pace. Participants will be provided with immediate feedback in the form
of performance profiles. These profiles will indicate the relative strengths
and weaknesses in general topic areas. The cost for each assessment is
US$45.
For more information, to view a sample assessment, or to purchase an
assessment, visit the NBME Self-Assessment web page at
http://www.nbme.org/sas
The NBME anticipates that a self-assessment for clinical science content
will be available in September 2003. The multiple-choice items presented in
the clinical science self-assessment will be based on information typically
covered during the clinical core clerkships in the United States and will
resemble the content of USMLE Step 2.
