Endorsement License Procedures for Ophthalmology Technicians in Oklahoma

Before applying for an endorsement license as an Ophthalmology Technician in Oklahoma, you must hold a valid certification from a recognized certifying body. The Oklahoma State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision (OSBMLS) recognizes the certifications offered by the Joint Commission on Allied Health Personnel in Ophthalmology (JCAHPO) and the American Board of Opticianry (ABO). Ensure your certification is up to date and meets the requirements set by these organizations.

To start the endorsement license application process, make sure you have the following documents handy:

1. Completed application form (available on the OSBMLS website)
2. Verification of your current certification from JCAHPO or ABO
3. A copy of your current Ophthalmology Technician license from your home state
4. Official transcripts from your ophthalmology or opticianry training program, demonstrating completion
5. Verification of any disciplinary history or pending investigations related to your practice, if applicable
6. A recent passport-sized photograph

It is crucial to ensure that all documents are properly completed, signed, and notarized where required.

You can submit your endorsement license application and supporting documents to the OSBMLS via mail or online.
