Exam Background Information

The SPEX is one of two programs available through the Post-Licensure Assessment System (PLAS), a collaborative initiative established in 1998 by the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) and the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) to provide services for use by medical licensing authorities in assessing a licensed or previously licensed physician’s aspects of competency to practice medicine. The PLAS and its programs are governed through a jointly appointed Governing Committee consisting of representatives from the FSMB and the NBME.

In the and its territories, licensure to practice medicine is a privilege granted only by the individual medical licensing authorities of the various jurisdictions. Each state medical board establishes its own rules and regulations and may require, as part of its licensure process, successful demonstration of current competence to practice medicine.

The SPEX is used by state medical boards to re-examine a physician’s ongoing level of basic medical knowledge. Situations in which a medical licensing board may require a physician to take SPEX include endorsement licensure, reinstatement of a license, or reactivation of a license after a period of inactivity (due to illness, disciplinary action, etc.).
