Hiring workflow
Build a clinician file with the degree, jurisdiction, application status, board correspondence, license number, issue and expiration dates, and renewal owner. Physician assistants, nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives and nurse anesthetists use their own licensing boards. Payer enrollment, facility privileges and employment onboarding are separate from state licensure. Confirm active status with the official board before clinical work begins.
Interstate Medical Licensure Compact
The IMLC gives eligible physicians an expedited pathway to licenses in participating jurisdictions; it does not create a single nationwide license. Status categories follow the IMLCC participating states page.
