Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB)

The Federation of State Medical Boards represents the 70 state medical and osteopathic regulatory boards - commonly referred to as state medical boards - within the United States, its territories and the District of Columbia. It supports its member boards as they fulfill their mandate of protecting the public’s health, safety and welfare through the proper licensing, disciplining, and regulation of physicians and, in most jurisdictions, other health care professionals.

Vision:
The FSMB supports state medical boards as they protect the public and promote quality health care, partnering and innovating with them to shape the future of medical regulation.

Mission:
The FSMB serves as the voice for state medical boards, supporting them through education, assessment, research and advocacy while providing services and initiatives that promote patient safety, quality health care and regulatory best practices.
