Welcome to the Federation of State Medical Boards

The Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) is a national non-profit organization representing the 70 medical boards of the United States and its territories. The FSMB leads by promoting excellence in medical practice, licensure, and regulation as the national resource and voice on behalf of state medical boards in their protection of the public.


FSMB Recognizes EHRs as Tool to Help Physicians Assess Ongoing Competence for Licensure
During a forum on information technology in Washington, D.C., the FSMB recognized the potential benefit in widespread adoption of electronic health records as a means to help physicians both improve patient outcomes and assess ongoing clinical competence for purposes of medical licensure.

FSMB Releases Background Paper on Maintenance of Licensure Framework
The FSMB's Board of Directors at its July 2010 meeting approved a background paper about the FSMB’s framework for Maintenance of Licensure (MOL). The paper summarizes the history of the FSMB’s efforts to seek a process by which licensed physicians in the United States could be required to demonstrate ongoing competence as a requirement for licensure renewal and discusses the MOL framework ultimately adopted in April 2010 by the FSMB’s House of Delegates.

Learn more about Maintenance of Licensure (MOL)
As the focus on health care quality and patient safety has increased in the United States, the FSMB and its member state medical boards have been considering initiatives aimed at enhancing quality, safety and physician practice improvement by requiring a verifiable system of lifelong learning as a condition of license renewal. The FSMB formally adopted a policy on MOL in April 2010, and is now assisting the nation's medical boards as they consider implementation of state MOL policies. Learn more.
