What this means for an out-of-state physician
The IMLC offers an expedited route to additional state licenses for eligible physicians, including a Territory of Guam license. Eligibility is set by the compact, so check the IMLCC information for physicians before applying. The Territory of Guam board still issues the license.
IMLCC: information for physicians
NPs and PAs
The IMLC covers physicians only. Nurse practitioners and physician assistants should check licensing requirements directly with the relevant state board.
FSMB: contact a state medical board
Neighbors
Territory of Guam has no bordering U.S. states or District of Columbia land/river neighbors; there is no bordering-state denominator.
Counts use shared land/river borders, exclude open-water-only and point-only contacts, and include the District of Columbia where adjacent. Count the named qualifying neighbors and divide the list into qualifying and other recorded statuses; no status is inferred for an unrecorded IMLC state.
In this state, in context
No usable annual mean employee wage is available in the existing linked state tables; no wage is inferred. These are employee wage estimates, not total compensation or contract rates.
No role-specific state pay pages exist in this project for this jurisdiction.
Decision checklist for Territory of Guam
- Review the IMLCC eligibility information before choosing an application route for Territory of Guam.
- Identify a qualifying State of Principal License if you intend to use the compact.
- Confirm the receiving board’s requirements; the state board, not the compact, issues the license.
