No, the MPHP is operated independently of the Maine licensing boards. The MPHP does not share participation information with the board unless there are legal, licensure or compliance issues that prompt mandated reporting requirements. The MPHP operates in compliance with state and federal laws and within protocols agreed to by MPHP and the boards of licensure.
