    Interstate Medical Licensure Compact

    Starting July 7, 2025, doctors who live in Pennsylvania can apply to care for patients in more than 30 other states and U.S. territories.

    This new opportunity comes as Pennsylvania fully joins three interstate health care compacts, which allow qualified health care professionals to streamline the application process to prove they meet all requirements to provide care to patients in other compact member states.
