State licensure (interstate compacts for physicians, nurses, psychologists)

amendedYears 1–3Workforce & training
Today

Clinicians need a license in each state where the patient is located; compacts cover some states.

Under the plan

Federal grants encourage all states to join compacts so clinicians can serve UHP patients across state lines.

Trade-off

More capacity, especially for telehealth; states cede some control over discipline and standards.
