Endorsement License Procedures for Interventional Radiology in Texas

To begin the endorsement license process in Texas, it is crucial to first understand and comply with the requirements set by the Texas Medical Board (TMB). The TMB is responsible for regulating the practice of medicine in the state. Visit their official website at [https://www.tmb.state.tx.us/](https://www.tmb.state.tx.us/) to gain a comprehensive understanding of their licensing process and access the latest information on licensing fees, required documentation, and any additional requirements specific to Interventional Radiology professionals.

Once you are familiar with the TMB's licensing process, proceed to complete the online application form. The TMB utilizes the Texas Online Licensing System for initial applications. You can access the system by visiting [https://www.tmb.state.tx.us/page/licensing-applications](https://www.tmb.state.tx.us/page/licensing-applications) and selecting the appropriate application for Interventional Radiology endorsement.

As part of the endorsement application, you will need to submit essential documentation. This may include your current and active license from the state where you are currently practicing, official transcripts from your medical school, and evidence of completion of an accredited Interventional Radiology residency program. Ensure that all documents are accurate and up to date before submission.

To verify your credentials, the TMB requires you to request that your current licensing board complete and submit a Verification of Credentials form directly to the TMB. This form confirms your active license, disciplinary history, and any additional relevant information. The Verification of Credentials form can usually be found on the licensing board's website or by contacting their office directly.

Alongside your application, you will be required to pay the appropriate fees. The TMB's website provides a comprehensive fee schedule, outlining the costs associated with different license types. Ensure that you submit the payment through the designated payment portal indicated during the application process. Accepted payment methods may include credit cards or electronic checks.

Once you have submitted your complete application, including all necessary documentation and fees, the TMB will review your submission. This process can take several weeks, depending on the volume of applications being processed. During this period, monitor your application status through the Texas Online Licensing System and promptly respond to any requests for additional information from the TMB.
