Sustaining Regulation in Uncertain Times
October 13-14, 2022
Hosted by the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy®(NABP®), and the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN®), the fifth Tri-Regulator Symposium offered one-and-a-half days of presentations and open forums on topics of high importance to the future of US health care. From the challenging impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the opportunities COVID-19 has presented to the future of telehealth and its impact on the professions and regulators, attendees gained insights from experts to help them better understand and respond to the issues that are shaping their future as regulators.
FSMB, NABP, and NCSBN formed the Tri-Regulator Collaborative in order to advance dialogue and build consensus on issues of state-based licensure and regulation. Recognizing the shared common values and deep commitment to public health protection, the Tri-Regulator Symposium is held biannually to bring together the members of these three organizations.
