Step 1: Verify Eligibility
Before beginning the endorsement license process, it is crucial to ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria set by the Oregon Medical Imaging Board (OMIB). Visit the OMIB website at [OMIB website](https://www.oregon.gov/omib/Pages/index.aspx) to review the requirements and confirm you have the necessary qualifications. Additionally, make sure your current license is in good standing in your home state.
Step 2: Gather Required Documents
To proceed with the endorsement license application, you will need to prepare the following documents:
1. Proof of identification (e.g., passport, driver's license)
2. Verification of current CT Tech license in your home state
3. Official transcripts from your radiologic technology program
4. Proof of completion of a CT Tech training program
Ensure all documents are up-to-date, notarized, and properly scanned for submission.
Step 3: Complete the Application
Once you have gathered all the necessary documents, it's time to complete the endorsement license application. Visit the OMIB's online portal at [OMIB online portal](https://www.oregon.gov/omib/Pages/Forms.aspx) to access the application form. Fill in all the required fields accurately and double-check for any errors or missing information before submitting.
Step 4: Pay the Application Fee
As part of the endorsement license process, you will be required to pay an application fee. The fee amount and payment instructions can be found on the OMIB's website under the 'Fees' section. Note that the fee is non-refundable, so make sure to review the fee structure carefully and submit the payment as instructed.
Step 5: Verification of Credentials
Once your application and fee are submitted, the OMIB will review your credentials. This process may take several weeks, so be patient. You can log in to the OMIB's online portal and check your application status periodically. Keep a record of the login credentials provided during the application process.
Step 6: Submit Fingerprint Cards
As part of the endorsement license process, you will need to submit fingerprint cards for a background check. The OMIB requires fingerprinting to ensure patient safety and maintain high standards of care. Detailed instructions on how and where to obtain fingerprint cards are provided on the OMIB website under the 'Fingerprinting' section.
Step 7: Await License Approval
After completing all the necessary steps, it's time to await your license approval. Once the OMIB verifies your credentials and completes the background check, they will issue your CT Tech endorsement license. You will receive a notification through the online portal and/or via email. Make sure to check your inbox regularly and follow any additional instructions provided.
