12 member boards have adopted the Federation of State Medical Boards Uniform Application for Physician Licensure (UA) - a tool that was designed to enhance license portability. Through the UA, the member boards utilize common application elements while capturing the unique state requirements in an addendum that is customized to meet the state specific needs. Licensure applicants that utilize the Federation Credentialing Verification Service (FCVS) have an added benefit as 70 percent of the application is pre-populated.
To date, more than 38 boards are engaged in some manner with the FSMB on the UA program. As of March 8, 2011 almost 17,000 physicians have successfully submitted their application for licensure utilizing the Uniform Application.
The new and improved Federation Credentials Verification Service (FCVS) Fast Track "went live" on February 15, 2011. The mammoth upgrade to FCVS follows a significant investment of time, money and energy spanning nearly 18 months and more than 120,000 hours of working time by FSMB staff and consultants. Nearly all state medical and osteopathic boards accept FCVS for processing of medical licensure decisions and 14 require it for licensure processing. 100 employees work on FCVS day-in and day-out.
Presenters: Ingo Hagemann, Director, Uniform Application for Physician
Licensure (UA) and Nancy Kerr, Project Coordinator, Uniform Application,
Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB)
Impact of Competence Assessment and Re-entry
Programs
CPEP is the Center for Personalized Education for Physicians in Denver, Colorado.
State medical boards have turned to competence assessment programs such as
CPEP to address questions about clinical competence for more than two decades.
More recently, these programs are also helping boards determine the competence
and educational needs of re-entry physicians. Having completed more than 1,000
assessments, CPEP Executive Director Elizabeth Korinek will share key findings
about characteristics of participants, and explore the outcomes and impact of a
post-licensure assessment process. In addition, she will share lessons learned
about the impact of a clinical practice re-entry process on physicians’ ability to
successfully and safely re-enter clinical practice.
Presenter: Elizabeth J. Korinek, MPH, CPEP Executive Director
