The compact creates another pathway for licensure and does not otherwise change a state's existing Medical Practice Act. The compact also adopts the prevailing standard for licensure and affirms that the practice of medicine occurs where the patient is located at the time of the physician-patient encounter, and therefore, requires the physician to be under the jurisdiction of the state medical board where the patient is located. State medical boards that participate in the compact retain the jurisdiction to impose an adverse action against a license to practice medicine in that state issued to a physician through the procedures in the compact.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2059348Normal"><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2059348CLP">    SECTION 2: DEFINITIONS</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2059348Normal-000001"><span class="s2059348DefaultParagraphFont">In this compact:</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2059348Normal-000002"><span class="s2059348DefaultParagraphFont">(a)    "Bylaws" means those bylaws established by the Interstate Commission pursuant to section 11 for its governance, or for directing and controlling its actions and conduct.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2059348Normal-000002"><span class="s2059348DefaultParagraphFont">(b)    "Commissioner" means the voting representative appointed by each member board pursuant to section 11.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2059348Normal-000002"><span class="s2059348DefaultParagraphFont">(c)    "Conviction" means a finding by a court that an individual is guilty of a criminal offense through adjudication, or entry of a plea of guilt or no contest to the charge by the offender.
