No. The Compact reflects the effort of the state medical boards to develop a dynamic, self-regulatory system of expedited state medical licensure over which the participating states maintain control through a coordinated legislative and administrative process. Coordination through a compact is not the same as superseding state authority. The Compact does not change in any way a state’s Medical Practice Act, or a state’s full authority in administering its duties of oversight. The Compact simply creates another pathway for licensure.
