About Licensure Compacts
The Interstate Podiatric Medical Licensure Compact (IPMLC) is an interstate occupational licensure compact. Interstate compacts are constitutionally authorized, legislatively enacted, legally binding agreements among states. Interstate licensure compacts are developed through a collaborative and transparent process to establish uniform standards for participating states and licensees. Licensure compacts are administered by a compact commission, and interstate government agency comprised of delegates from each compact member state. Licensure compacts also create a licensure data system to improve information sharing between compact member states, including disciplinary information to further protect the public.
As of 2024 there are 14 medical licensure compacts in existence and additional licensure compacts in development including the IPMLC.
