Federation of State Medical Boards

Summary
The deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and others have led many to re-confront the issue of systemic racism. One of the most powerful signals we can send as professionals is a willingness to look into the history of our institution, take stock of its past or present failings and document them publicly as a reference point for tracking the progress still needed in this country. The authors here present results of their review of the governance for the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB). The research question posed is a simple one: “How well has the FSMB achieved diversity in its board of directors?”
