Stewardship, growth, and why NCMB is updating licensing fees
Episode 5
Wednesday, 26 August, 2026

In this episode, host Jean Fisher Brinkley talks with Brian Blankenship, JD, Chief Legal Officer and Legislative Liaison for the Board, about an important update to physician and physician assistant licensing fees. No one likes hearing that fees are increasing, and we understand that. So rather than simply announcing the change, we wanted to explain how it was decided that the increase is warranted and what these fees support.View some of the resources mentioned in this episode here.Follow the North Carolina Medical Board on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X.Email your questions to: podcast@ncmedboard.org.
