An endorsement license allows medical professionals with existing licenses in other states to practice in Maryland without having to complete the entire licensing process from scratch. It not only saves time but also opens up new opportunities for healthcare professionals like you to work in a variety of healthcare settings in Maryland.

To begin your endorsement license journey, it's essential to familiarize yourself with the Maryland Board of Physicians (MBP). The MBP is the licensing body responsible for overseeing and regulating the practice of Medical Lab Scientists in Maryland.
