The compact streamlines licensure by allowing practitioners licensed in one compact member state to practice in another without additional application or fees. Compact status significantly reduces licensing delays before your assignment starts. The application process typically involves verifying your compact license status and ensuring your primary state license remains active. Your recruiter can help confirm your compact eligibility and coordinate any documentation needed to begin your Maryland assignment on schedule.
