Step 1: Review the Licensing Requirements
Before you begin the endorsement license procedure, it is crucial to understand the licensing requirements set by the Delaware Division of Professional Regulation (DPR). Please visit the [DPR's website](https://dpr.delaware.gov/medicalpractice/anest-tech/) for detailed information on the requirements specific to Anesthesia Techs.
Step 2: Ensure Eligibility
Ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria outlined by the DPR. This typically includes completing an accredited Anesthesia Technology program, providing proof of education, and holding an active license in another state. For a comprehensive list of eligibility requirements, refer to the [DPR's application instructions](https://dpr.delaware.gov/medicalpractice/anest-tech/forms/).
Step 3: Request Verification of Licensure
Contact the licensing board or agency of the state where you hold your current license and request a Verification of Licensure. This verification will be submitted directly to the DPR along with your application. Note that some states may charge a fee for this service, so be sure to check with your respective board or agency.
Step 4: Submit the Application
Complete the online application for Anesthesia Tech endorsement via the [DPR's online portal](https://dpronline.delaware.gov/mylicense%20webcheck/Professional/Professional.aspx?facility=Y). Ensure that you provide accurate and up-to-date information along with the required supporting documentation. The application fee, as mentioned on the DPR's website, must be paid at the time of submission.
Step 5: Await Review and Verification
Once your application, supporting documents, and fee payment are received, the DPR will review your submission. This process may take several weeks, during which the board may contact you for additional information or clarification. Be diligent in promptly responding to any inquiries to expedite the process.
Step 6: Schedule and Pass the Jurisprudence Exam
As an Anesthesia Tech, you must pass the Jurisprudence Exam administered by the DPR. This exam tests your knowledge of the Delaware laws and regulations governing anesthesia technology practice. Detailed information regarding the exam, study materials, and scheduling can be found on the [DPR's exam webpage](https://dpr.delaware.gov/boards/medicalpractice/jurisprudence-exam/).
Step 7: Receive Your Endorsement License
After successfully completing the application review and passing the Jurisprudence Exam, you will be issued your endorsement license as an Anesthesia Tech in Delaware. The DPR will provide you with the necessary documentation, which may include a physical license and/or a printable copy for your records.
