Getting a Letter of Qualification from the IMLCC

I'm posting this because there are no posts on the timeline for IMLCC approval from application to Letter of Qualification.

In general, to obtain full medical licenses in various states across the USA, there are two primary methods:

  1. Direct Application: This involves applying directly to each state's medical board, which can be time-consuming.
  2. Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLCC): Also known as a compact license, this allows physicians to apply for expedited licensure if they hold a full, unrestricted medical license in a Compact member state that serves as their State of Principal License (SPL). You can learn more about IMLCC and its requirements at https://www.imlcc.org/.


Here's a timeline detailing my experience with the IMLCC application process:

  1. May 20th, 2024: Applied for the IMLCC and paid the $700 application fee.
  2. May 21st, 2024: The Wisconsin licensing team contacted me to:
    • Conduct fingerprinting for a background check. Completed on 05/24/2024.
    • Complete additional paperwork (procedures may vary by state). Completed 05/23/2024
    • Transmit USMLE/FLEX exam scores to the Wisconsin Medical Examining Board. Completed 05/28/2024
  3. July 7th, 2024: I received my Letter of Qualification (LOQ) from the IMLCC.

Overall, the process took approximately 6-7 weeks from the initial application date.
