Coburn Supports Federation of State Medical Board’s Efforts to Advance Medical Licensure Compact

On January 9, 2014, Dr. Coburn joined 15 other Senators in sending a bipartisan letter to the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) supporting FSMB’s efforts to advance multistate practice through more efficient sharing of medical licensure information.  Streamlining the licensing process would allow qualified health care providers to utilize telehealth technology and practice in multiple states. A voluntary licensure compact by FSMB would expand access to high quality care, while preserving the states’ primacy in regulating health providers and protecting patients.  The full letter can be found here.
