Interstate Medical Licensure Compact with Marschall Smith
Manage episode 425894916 series 3582753
The Interstate Medical Licensure Compact is an agreement among participating U.S. states and territories to work together to significantly streamline the licensing process for physicians who want to practice in multiple states. It offers a voluntary, expedited pathway to licensure for physicians who qualify.
The mission of the Compact is to increase access to health care – particularly for patients in underserved or rural areas. The Compact makes it possible to extend the reach of physicians, improve access to medical specialists, and leverage the use of new medical technologies, such as telemedicine. While making it easier for physicians to obtain licenses to practice in multiple states, the Compact also strengthens public protection by enhancing the ability of states to share investigative and disciplinary information.
The Compact currently includes 37 states, the District of Columbia and the Territory of Guam. In these jurisdictions, physicians are licensed by 50 different medical and osteopathic boards. Other states are currently in the process of introducing legislation to adopt the Compact.
The IMLCC has prepared a short video (8:25) that discusses the IMLCC and provides additional information. Overview of the IMLCC
