Section 1: Understanding the California Licensing Process
Before diving into the endorsement license procedures, let's familiarize ourselves with the California licensing process for Cath Lab Techs. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is the licensing body responsible for approving healthcare professionals in the state. To ensure smooth endorsement, it's essential to understand their requirements and regulations.
For a detailed overview of the licensing process, you can visit the [CDPH's website](https://www.cdph.ca.gov/).

To begin your endorsement license application, you'll need to gather several important documents. These may include:
1. Proof of your current license in good standing from another state.
2. Verification of education and training from your educational institution or training program.
3. Professional references from healthcare employers who can attest to your skills and experience.
For a complete list of required documents and guidelines, please refer to the [CDPH's endorsement webpage](https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CEH/DRSEM/Pages/EMSA/Certification-Unit-Link/Endorsement.aspx).
