Ace the 2026 BAMC Promotion Board Exam – Step Up, Stand Out, Succeed!

The key idea here is tracing the early physical development of BAMC by date, focusing on when the first brick hospital actually went up. The instance that mentions building a brick hospital in 1886 is the earliest milestone among the options, so it correctly identifies the first brick structure. The other items describe later changes—shifting the hospital’s name in 1942, opening a new BAMC in 1996, and a 2011 facility opening—none of which change the fact that the first brick hospital was built in 1886. This question tests your ability to distinguish the initial brick construction from subsequent reorganizations or new facilities.
