Strategic Plan
Our Updated Vision for the Future Anticipates a New Era for Medical Regulation
In 2023, the FSMB Foundation adopted a new strategic plan that is structured to provide more resources for state medical regulators while anticipating the needs of a fast-changing health care landscape.
As a new and challenging era for medical regulation continues to unfold, the Foundation will launch a variety of initiatives and strategies, partnering closely with the FSMB and collaborating to respond to boards’ evolving operational needs.
The new plan envisions the FSMB Foundation as a catalyst for innovative ideas, encouraging research and education initiatives that translate into best practices and greater effectiveness for state medical boards.
The plan puts an emphasis on helping boards build sustainable leadership for the future, funding programs to help regulatory leaders develop their knowledge and skills and to encourage new thinking.
FSMB Foundation directors and FSMB staff gathered in late 2022 for a strategic planning session at the offices of the North Carolina Medical Board.
