Listen now
Description
Marschall Smith, executive director of the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact Commission, discusses how the idea for creating a physician compact came about, what the compact does, and how it works. He shares some ways the compact has had a beneficial impact on improving access to care in rural and underserved areas and via telemedicine, especially as we deal with the coronavirus pandemic. He also mentions the IMLCC's mechanism to allow for joint investigations of physicians across states and planned improvements to move the compact process to a cloud-based system with a common database.
