Assessment Matters

The NBOME 2022-2024 Strategic Plan

ASSESSMENT MATTERS. IT DRIVES LEARNING, DEFINES
WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO A PROFESSION AND
DELINEATES A STANDARD FOR ITS CONSTITUENTS.

Most importantly, it matters to the quality of care patients will receive. With a foundation in the distinctive practice of osteopathic medicine, we promote an interconnected, “body, mind, and spirit” approach to the science and art of assessment, just as DOs bring to the patients they care for. With input from all our stakeholders, we developed this strategic plan to continue to advance the quality of care for patients through assessment.

The plan rests on four pillars:

TEST WHAT MATTERS

Create and continuously validate assessments that measure competencies which
improve patient care, enhance patient safety, promote lifelong learning, and ensure
quality, osteopathically distinctive patient care, and educational programs.

INNOVATE TO ENHANCE VALUE FOR TEST-TAKERS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS

Innovate to enhance the test-taking experience and ensure reliable, secure, valid, and
fair assessment for licensure and other purposes.

PRIORITIZE WELLBEING

Promote the wellbeing of NBOME stakeholders and staff to positively impact patient care.

ENRICH MISSION-ALIGNED PARTNERSHIPS

Strengthen collaborative partnerships with the public, licensure, accreditation, and
education communities, including AOA, AACOM, learners, other osteopathic
organizations, and those across the house of medicine, to garner and integrate their input.
