Fitness to Practice for Healthcare Professionals (USA) is a CPD course designed to help clinicians understand what “fitness to practise” means in the U.S. healthcare system, why regulators place such importance on it, and how to demonstrate it consistently in professional life.

U.S. licensing boards — including state boards of medicine, nursing, dentistry, and pharmacy, as well as national bodies such as the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), the American Medical Association (AMA), the American Nurses Association (ANA), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) — all define fitness to practise as more than clinical competence. It includes ethical conduct, communication, professionalism, probity, insight, reflection, and remediation.

This course equips healthcare professionals with the tools to maintain and evidence their fitness to practise, whether in daily care or during regulatory inquiries. Through guidance, case studies, and regulator-aligned strategies, learners will understand how to safeguard licensure, protect patients, and uphold the trust placed in healthcare professions.
