Step 1: Verify Eligibility
Before initiating the endorsement license application process, ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria outlined by the Missouri Board of Registration for the Healing Arts (MBRHA). To guarantee eligibility, visit the official MBRHA website at [MBRHA eligibility criteria](https://www.pr.mo.gov/physician-assistant-endorsement-qualifications.asp). Here you will find valuable information regarding qualifications, required documentation, and any additional prerequisites you need to meet.
Step 2: Gather Required Documents
To complete your endorsement license application, ensure you have the following documents readily available:
1. A completed and signed Physician Assistant Endorsement Application, which can be obtained from the [MBRHA Forms page](https://www.pr.mo.gov/physician-assistant-forms.asp).
2. An official transcript from your physician assistant training program.
3. Verification of licensure from your original licensing state or certification authority.
4. Verification of your National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) certification.
5. Verification of any disciplinary actions, if applicable.
Step 3: Complete Application and Pay Fees
Using the information and documents gathered in the previous steps, complete the Physician Assistant Endorsement Application following the instructions provided. The application form can be found on the [MBRHA Forms page](https://www.pr.mo.gov/physician-assistant-forms.asp). Ensure that all sections are filled accurately and completely before submitting the application.
Apart from the application form, there is a non-refundable application fee associated with the endorsement license process. For the most up-to-date fee information, visit the [MBRHA Fees page](https://www.pr.mo.gov/physician-assistant-fees.asp).
Step 4: Submit Application and Supporting Documents

Step 5: Await Application Review
After submitting your application, the MBRHA will begin reviewing your information. Please note that processing times may vary, and it is advisable to regularly check the MBRHA website or reach out to their office for updates. This waiting period provides an excellent opportunity to explore employment prospects and potentially reach out to healthcare staffing agencies like TLC Travel Staff to start the job search process.
