The Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, a voluntary, expedited pathway to cross-state licensure for physicians who qualify, is now implemented and live. The compact is an interstate agreement among participating U.S. member states and territories to work together to significantly streamline the licensing process for physicians who want to practice in multiple states. 

The compact is governed and administered by the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact Commission (IMLCC). The compact was adopted in Indiana by way of Senate Enrolled Act (SEA) 251 (2022), and its applicable regulations are provided in statute under Indiana Code § 25-22.5-16. 

Eligible physician applicants may now apply directly through the compact. Helpful information and resources about eligibility and how to apply can be found on the compact’s following web pages:
