Step 1: Gather Required Documents
Before starting the endorsement license application procedure, it is crucial to ensure you have all the necessary documents ready. The Oregon Medical Board requires the following documents:
1. Proof of completion of an accredited Ultrasound program.
2. Verification of your active license from the state where you are currently practicing.
3. A completed application form.
To access the application form and obtain detailed information about the required documents, visit the [Oregon Medical Board's Endorsement License Application page](https://www.omb.oregon.gov/EN/Apply/DocumentsandForms/).
Please note that the Oregon Medical Board may require additional supporting documents, such as transcripts and letters of recommendation. Ensure you review their website thoroughly to eliminate any potential delays in your application.
Step 2: Complete the Application
Once you have gathered all the necessary documents, it's time to begin the application process. Download the endorsement license application form from the [Oregon Medical Board's website](https://www.omb.oregon.gov/EN/Apply/DocumentsandForms/).
Carefully fill out the application form, ensuring that all the information provided is accurate and matches your supporting documents. Incomplete or inaccurate information may result in delays or rejection of your application.
Along with the application form, you will need to include any required fees. The fee schedule can be found on the [Oregon Medical Board's Fee Schedule page](https://www.omb.oregon.gov/EN/Apply/DocumentsandForms/). Please note that fees are subject to change, so double-check the website for the most up-to-date information.

Step 4: Background Check and Verification
After submitting your application, the Oregon Medical Board will perform a background check and verify the information provided. This process ensures patient safety and the integrity of the healthcare profession.
