Current Work


The NBME is now conducting field trials in collaboration with medical schools and residency training programs to obtain information about the utility of the APB instrument. The field trials test the use of the instrument as part of a formative and supportive system for multisource feedback (MSF). It is intended that the process will encourage thoughtful reflection and dialogue about professional behaviors at individual, departmental and institutional levels, and that the feedback provided will result in an opportunity to enhance strengths and identify areas needing improvement.
