Key items included public comments urging stronger patient-safety enforcement and transparency, a lengthy public stakeholder discussion about the boards complaint and investigatory processes, presentations from UC San Diegos PACE (physician assessment and remediation) program and the FSMB on licensure portability, a demo of the boards new online complaint-tracking interface, a final report on the Mexico Licensed Physicians Pilot Program, updates from DCA and HQIU (including the impending retirement of HQIU chief Kathleen Nichols), and votes on rulemaking for petition fees and the boards positions on two bills (AB 432 supported; AB 408 updated). Several special faculty permit appointments were approved and officers were elected.
