New Mexico joins the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact to streamline physician licensure across states.
The Interstate Medical Licensure Compact Act allows New Mexico to join a multi-state agreement to simplify physician licensure. Physicians can obtain an expedited license through the Compact if they meet eligibility criteria, including holding a full and unrestricted license in a designated state of principal license. The Compact establishes an interstate commission to oversee the agreement, manage licensure processes, and handle disputes. Member states retain authority to regulate medical practice, and the Compact does not limit existing state laws.
