Deemed Licensure for Health Care Professionals Licensed in Other States
During the public health emergency declared for COVID-19, Vermont enacted special provisions that allowed certain qualifying health care professionals to practice in Vermont without the requirement to obtain a license. The term associated with those provisions was "deemed" licensure." Those provisions allowing practice in deemed status have all expired. Individuals practicing in the professions regulated by the Board of Medical Practice must have a valid license, certification, or registration.
