Medical License Renewals Through the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact
As a medical professional, having licenses across multiple states can be cumbersome and time-consuming. This process is made significantly easier with the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC) license renewal process, giving providers a much quicker and more efficient way to renew their licenses while still complying with the requirements of state boards.
By leveraging a physician’s verified credentials and facilitating a review of primary source documents, the IMLC reduces inefficiencies associated with traditional licensure processes.
With the IMLC, physicians can take advantage of opportunities that span multiple states and access more patients, all while having validated their qualifications and staying in line with regulatory compliance requirements.
Understanding IMLC Licenses
Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC) licenses are a type of medical license that enables qualified providers to gain expedited licensure in multiple states.
IMLC licenses differ from traditional medical licenses as they require the physician to be in good standing with their home state and pass a criminal background check. The IMLC has established eligibility requirements for obtaining a license, including certification by an accredited medical school, completion of an approved residency program, passing scores on all components of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) and documentation of active medical practice.
All applicants seeking an IMLC license must prove unrestricted licensure in their home state and adherence to ethical standards of behavior.
Renewing IMLC Licenses
Renewing an Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC) License is a straightforward process, but it’s worth noting that only licenses obtained through the IMLC can be renewed through the Compact.
Here are the steps you should follow to renew IMLC Licenses:
1. Log onto your IMLC account and select “Renewal” for your license type.
2. Provide all the necessary documents and information as requested.
3. Submit payment to the IMLC with the approved form of payment listed at the bottom of the page.
4. Once the IMLC has received and approved the documents and payment, you will receive your renewed license within six to eight weeks.
5. Should you have any questions or require assistance during the renewal process, please contact the IMLC customer service team by email at inquiry@imlcc.net or by phone at 303-997-9842.
The issuing state board is a vital part of the renewal process for an IMLC license, as it’s responsible for verifying the physician’s information to ensure it is up-to-date and accurate, and determining the physician’s eligibility to renew their license.
Physicians must maintain their State of Principal Licensure (SPL) status to be eligible for a Compact license renewal, and it’s essential that physicians keep their SPL in good standing to not experience any delay or interruption in their Compact privileges.
