INDIANAPOLIS — The National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) announced that Thomas S. Inui, M.D., president and CEO of Regenstrief Institute Inc. and associate dean for health care research at the Indiana University School of Medicine, has been elected to a second four-year term as a member-at-large of the NBME.
Dr. Inui, who is Sam Regenstrief Professor of Health Services Research and professor of medicine at the IU School of Medicine, has been associated with the National Board of Medical Examiners since 1995.

The NBME is an independent, not-for-profit organization that provides high-quality examinations for the health professions. Protection of the health of the public through state of the art assessment is the mission of the NBME, along with a major commitment to research and development in evaluation and measurement. The NBME develops the three-step USMLE, which provides a common evaluation system for applicants seeking initial licensure to practice medicine in the United States. The NBME's examinations and services are also widely used by the medical education system. In addition, the NBME provides testing, educational, consultative, and research services to medical specialty boards and societies and healthcare organizations in the United States and internationally.
The membership of the NBME has ultimate responsibility for establishing policy for the NBME and for electing its board of directors. The NBME membership is composed of approximately 80 individuals representing the academic community, national professional organizations, state licensing boards, students, residents, the federal government and the public.
