Licensure Compact
Multistate Licensing for Podiatric Medicine
Compact news – The Federation of Podiatric Medical Boards, working under financial assistance of a HRSA grant, is working to institute the compact.
Information regarding adoption in states and formation of the Interstate Podiatric Medical Licensure Compact Commission will be updated as they occur.
What is the Interstate Podiatric Medical License Compact
Interstate Podiatric Medical Licensure Compact (IPMLC) is an interstate occupational licensure compact for podiatric physicians. The IPMLC facilitates multistate practice for Podiatrists, improves health care access for patients, and enhances public protection.
States joining the IPMLC agree to recognize a valid, unencumbered license issued by another compact member state via a compact privilege. Licensed Podiatric Physicians who meet the compact standards and have been approved by a compact state can use the compact to obtain a license in each compact member state where they desire to provide care.
Podiatric Physicians must adhere to the laws and regulations of the state in which they are licensed. Oversight for licensed Podiatric Physicians remains entirely with each states Licensing Board
For a history of the development of the Podiatry Compact and the methodology used, please see our page.
