Hiring timeline in Maine
With Maine in the compact as participating non-SPL, a candidate licensed in another member state can apply through the IMLC instead of a full application to the Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine.
Ask the board whether this option fits your start date: Temporary six-month site-specific license ($400); emergency 100-day site-specific license ($400).
