The Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) is a nonprofit organization that supports state medical boards in their mission to protect the public by regulating the practice of medicine. Its primary purpose is to ensure effective regulation and public policy promoting safe and ethical medical practices. FSMB also provides resources, guidelines, and assists students on their journey to becoming board certified by providing best practices in regulatory duties.
The provide a variety of tools and experiences as a way to help students and physicians through the process to become licensed and maintain their verified credential information in a protected location.
They wanted to optimize their experiences for the FCVS and UA experiences by combining and streamlining these into one smart experiences which speeds up the process for applicants. Their goal was to provide one tool that allows users to gather and verify all of their credentials to be stored and maintained for future use, then using those to apply for state licensure.
TL;DR, FSMB helps make sure Physicians are verified and safe for the public. They wanted help improving their digital processes for proper licensing to make sure Physicians adhere to the highest standards in medical care.
