Licensing & Renewal Information

For detailed information about the licensure or renewal process, select the type of license relevant to your profession or program from the list provided below. The Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine requires licensees to renew their licenses biennially to maintain the right to practice. The Board has made every effort to include all necessary information for both licensure and renewal processes on this website. Resources such as the Help Center, FAQs, and Resources page provide answers to frequently asked questions, along with access to links, forms, and applications. For additional assistance, including specific inquiries about the renewal process, you may contact a renewal specialist.

Florida law provides that an initial application must be reviewed within 30 days. Below is the average number of days at which we are currently processing.

Interstate Medical
Licensure Compact

Close

The Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC) is an agreement among multiple licensing jurisdictions that allows members of the Compact to work together to expedite the licensing process for physicians who want to practice in multiple states and U.S. territories. The IMLC has more than 40 member jurisdictions. Florida became the 40th state to join the IMLC following the passage of Senate Bill 7016 during the 2024 legislative session. Florida is in the process of onboarding with the IMLC Commission and anticipates the Compact to be operational in the Fall of 2024 for applicants applying in this state.

Physicians who are eligible to participate in the IMLC can qualify to practice medicine in multiple jurisdictions by completing one IMLC application to become eligible to receive separate licenses from each Compact member jurisdiction in which they intend to practice. These licenses are issued by the individual member jurisdictions – just as they would be using the standard licensing process – but because the application for licensure in these jurisdictions is initiated through the Compact, the overall process of obtaining a license will be significantly streamlined.
