Step 1: Understand the Requirements
Before diving into the application process, it's crucial to familiarize yourself with the requirements set by the Arizona Medical Radiologic Technology Board of Examiners (MRTBE). You can find the complete list of requirements on their official website at [MRTBE website](https://www.mrtbe.az.gov/). Make sure to carefully review the prerequisites to ensure you meet all qualifications.
Step 2: Gather Documentation
To initiate the endorsement license application, you'll need to gather the following documents:
1. Proof of completion of an accredited Mammography training program.
2. Current certification or license in good standing from a state or country where you are currently practicing.
3. Verification of your employment history.
You can find detailed instructions on document submission on the MRTBE website under the 'Application' section.
Step 3: Application Submission
Once you have all the required documentation ready, you can submit your endorsement license application. Visit the MRTBE's online application portal, which can be accessed via their website. Fill out the application form accurately and attach the necessary supporting documents as specified.
It's essential to pay attention to the instructions provided during the application process to avoid any delays or rejections.
Step 4: Background Check
As part of the endorsement license procedure, all applicants are required to undergo a background check. To complete this process, you must provide consent for a fingerprint-based criminal background check. The MRTBE will provide detailed instructions on how to proceed with the background check and any associated fees. You can find this information on the MRTBE website under the 'Background Check' section.
Step 5: Application Review and Approval
After submitting your application and completing the background check, the MRTBE will review your submission and supporting documents. The review process typically takes a few weeks. It's important to ensure your application is complete and all information provided is accurate.
If there are any discrepancies or further clarifications required, the MRTBE may contact you directly, so make sure to provide up-to-date contact information in your application.
Step 6: License Issuance
Once your application has been approved, you will receive your endorsement license as a Mammography Tech in Arizona. You can verify the status of your endorsement license through the MRTBE's online verification portal. Keep a copy of your license for future reference and ensure it remains valid throughout your career.
