A state accepting a medical license granted by another state describes licensure by endorsement. This process allows a physician who is already licensed in one state to obtain a license in another state, typically based on the recognition of their qualifications and experience. Endorsement facilitates mobility for healthcare professionals and helps address physician shortages in various regions. However, each state still retains the authority to set specific requirements for licensure.
