Areas of Focus

Advancing Our Mission

FSBPT's areas of focus guide us in the planning and budgeting process by keeping us focused on what is essential to forwarding FSBPT's mission. The Areas of Focus were developed over time through our membership surveys, two FSBPT summits, strategic planning sessions of the board of directors, and additional feedback from committees and staff.

The Areas of Focus were approved by the FSBPT Delegate Assembly. Any future changes to the Areas of Focus would need to be adopted by the FSBPT Delegate Assembly. They are guided by the vision of FSBPT, which was approved by the 2003 Delegate Assembly:

“State licensing boards and their Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy will achieve a high level of public protection through a strong foundation of laws and regulatory standards in physical therapy, effective tools and systems to assess entry-level and continuing competence, and public and professional awareness of resources for public protection.”
