Interstate Medical Licensure Compact
The Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC) is an agreement among multiple licensing jurisdictions that allows members of the Compact to work together to expedite the licensing process for physicians who want to practice in multiple states and U.S. territories. The IMLC has more than 40 member jurisdictions. Florida became the 40th state to join the IMLC following the passage of Senate Bill 7016 during the 2024 legislative session. Florida onboarded with the IMLC Commission in the Fall of 2024.
Physicians who are eligible to participate in the IMLC can qualify to practice medicine in multiple jurisdictions by completing one IMLC application to become eligible to receive separate licenses from each Compact member jurisdiction in which they intend to practice. These licenses are issued by the individual member jurisdictions – just as they would be using the standard licensing process – but because the application for licensure in these jurisdictions is initiated through the Compact, the overall process of obtaining a license will be significantly streamlined.
