Familiarize yourself with the specific requirements for Interventional Radiology professionals to ensure a smooth application process.

Gather the necessary documentation required for your endorsement license application. Typical requirements include, but are not limited to:

1. Proof of identity (e.g., driver's license, passport)
2. Completed application form (available on MDPH's website)
3. Verification of your current license from the state where you are currently practicing
4. Verification of education, training, and experience

Ensure that you carefully review the documentation checklist provided by MDPH to avoid any delays or missing information.
