CONCERNS REGARDING THE USMLE PROPOSAL

The National Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners has considered the proposal
put forth in the White Paper issued by APMA and ACFAS. The board offers the
following comments.

 1. 1. 1. Trying to achieve parity by having DPM candidates attempt to pass
          USMLE is misguided.
 2. The APMLE series is psychometrically sound, demonstrably valid and accepted
    by all states as the basis for safe and competent practice of podiatric
    medicine.
 3. The NBPME disagrees that any part of the USMLE is appropriate for deciding
    whether a podiatrist is eligible for licensure.
 4. The designation of ‘Physician” is the prerogative of state licensing boards,
    not the AMA. The issue should be taken up in the proper venue.

 

THE FUTURE OF CSPE

March 2021

The NBPME has unanimously voted that the CSPE represents a unique, valid,
reliable examination that tests skills not being tested in the Parts I, II, and
III written examinations.  The decision was also made to start an investigation
into alternatives to the suspended version of the clinical skills patient
encounter examination. It was acknowledged that the first version of CSPE
examination was unpopular among the student population mainly because of the
expense to candidates.

During the development, pilot process and then with the actual administration of
the first version of the examination, the board became convinced of the
appropriateness of testing these unique skills that are crucial to safe,
effective, independent practice. That perspective is also shared by other
licensing boards, including NBME and NBOME. To date, no groups have abandoned
this examination. Boards have either continued to test or said they are
suspending the current version of their examinations while pursuing alternate
designs.

The CSPE examination is currently suspended. Investigation and evaluation of
alternatives has only begun. Although it may be possible, it is unlikely that a
new design would be developed, piloted and ready for administration for the
Class of 2022.

NBPME is committed to the clinical skills program, and to providing routine
updates to the stakeholders of our profession, including the AACPM, APMA, APMSA,
CPME and FPMB, as we work alongside NBOME to further our mission and to create
an examination that is valid, reliable and cost-effective.

 

NBPME CANCELS PART II CSPE FOR THE CLASS OF 2021

At a meeting Tuesday, February 9, 2021, the board decided that the many
complications created by the global pandemic have made it impossible to continue
the Clinical Skills Patient Encounter examination currently underway.

All candidates who have tested or scheduled will be reimbursed for the test fee
and appropriate travel expenses. All affected students will be contacted after
details have been completed.

Dr. Alyssa Stephenson, board president, stated that the NBPME intends to work
with stakeholders including state licensing boards to determine the best path
forward to continue to meet the goal of protecting the public health by
examining all skills that are essential for safe independent practice.
