Expanding Our Healthcare Workforce
To prepare for the expected surge in COVID-19 cases, we need all hands on deck. IDFPR has released new guidance to allow doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who have recently retired or left the field to temporarily reinstate their licenses. Expedited licensing is also available for health care professionals who currently practice out of state.
Physicians, surgeons and physician’s assistants whose licenses have been expired or inactive for less than three years may temporarily restore their license with no fee or continuing education requirement. Nurses and respiratory care therapists with licenses that have been expired or inactive for less than five years may also temporarily restore their license without paying a fee or taking continuing education courses.
Out-of-State physicians, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists, and respiratory care therapists may temporarily practice in Illinois if they are licensed in another state and are in good standing. All temporary licensees must be operating under the authority of IEMA/IDPH or at a long-term care facility, hospital or FQHC. Temporary licenses expire September 30, 2020.
