Examination Meetings

NABP’s examination meetings bring together pharmacists from all areas of practice and faculty from schools and colleges of pharmacy. The dedicated volunteers who devote their time to this process share the task of safeguarding the integrity and validity of the Association’s examinations.

At workshops held throughout the year, item writers develop items and adhere to the content-related requirements of their designated examination. Review Committees are then responsible for reviewing the examination questions, attending and participating in meetings, and writing new test questions. The item writers and Review Committee members act under the policy and planning guidance of the NABP Executive Committee and the Advisory Committee on Examinations, which oversees the development and administration of all NABP examination and certification programs.
