Texas is a fully participating state in the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC). This means physicians and nurses who qualify can apply for expedited medical licensure in Texas by leveraging their existing license in another IMLC state.
At White Glove IMLC, we handle every part of the process — from eligibility screening and document collection to application submission, background checks, and status tracking with the Texas Medical Board. Our concierge service ensures no details are missed and no deadlines are missed. We streamline communication with the board and provide status updates throughout the process.
