About the exam

There are three sections to this exam;

Case Management- This section consists of twenty stations (10 simulated patient encounters, and 10 Post-encounters), testing case history skills, orthopedic, neurological and physical examination. You are expected to perform procedures or answer questions pertaining to clinical situations.
Technique- This section consists of five stations (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, pelvic and extremity). There will be two set-ups at each station, and you are graded on patient, Doctor and hand placement, and line of drive.
X-ray Interpretation and Diagnosis- There are 5 to 10 stations with radiographs. You are to identify "common" clinical, precautionary or emergency conditions indicated on the films and may be asked to answer related questions.

All stations are timed.

At least one NBCE official indicated that this exam will be accepted or required by 48 States.

The next NB Part 4 exams are scheduled for May 18-20, 2012 and November 9-11, 2012.

****IMPORTANT! The registration deadline for the Part 4 EXAM is February 21, 2012. There is NO late registration for Part 4!***
