Podiatry Boards Part I Review
(Review for the NBPME Part I Examination)

This website was published as a supplemental source for studying the Step I Podiatry Board Exam

The exam should be taken after completion of the second year in podiatry school. For dates, registration and procedures on taking the exam, refer to NBPME.info. The exam covers the following subjects in order of weighted importance:

Lower Extremity Anatomy 20%
Pharmacology 15%
Physiology 15%
Pathology 15%
Medical Microbiology and Immunology 15%
General Anatomy 10%
Biochemistry 10%

(On the NBPME outline they are listed in this order: General Anatomy, Lower Extremity Anatomy, Biochemistry, Physiology, Microbiology and Immunology, Pathology, Pharmacology. 1a p 16-20 [20-24]. However on the test, the questions are mixed, not organized according to category, and often have overlap between subjects.)

This website also has suggestions for testing strategies and other studying materials.

The information on this site was compiled from a number of sources, including NBPME.info, other websites, books, and lecture notes from the faculty at the California School of Podiatric Medicine. The complete list of sources can be found on the works cited page.

This website is not affiliated with NBPME, or any of the sources listed on the works cited page. It was written entirely by a podiatry student in preparation for the exam.

MD students, DO students, and students of other medical professions are welcome to use this site to study for the USMLE Step 1, COMPLEX-USA, or other respective board exams. These students may find that the Lower Extremity Anatomy portion is too detailed. Also this site lacks categories, such as Behavioral Science, which are included in the USMLE Step 1 and board exams for other professions.
