Step 1: Verify Eligibility
Before beginning the endorsement license process, it's crucial to ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria set by the Oregon Speech-Language & Hearing Board (OSHLB). Review the qualifications, including education and experience requirements, specified on the OSHLB website.
You can find detailed information about eligibility and requirements on the OSHLB website at [OSHLB Eligibility](https://example.com/oshlb-eligibility).
Step 2: Gather Required Documentation
To support your endorsement license application, you will need to gather certain documents, including:
1. Proof of identification (e.g., passport, driver's license)
2. Official transcripts from your graduate program
3. Verification of your current Speech-Language Pathology license
4. Verification of your clinical fellowship or professional experience
Remember to have electronic copies of these documents readily available for upload during the application process.
Step 3: Complete the Application
Once you have verified your eligibility and gathered the necessary documentation, it's time to complete the endorsement license application. The application form can be obtained from the Oregon Health Licensing Agency (OHLA) website.
Visit the OHLA's website at [OHLA Application](https://example.com/ohla-application) to access the endorsement license application form.
Step 4: Pay the Application Fee
Along with your application, you will be required to submit an application fee. The current fee amount can be found on the OHLA website.
For information on payment methods and to determine the exact fee amount, visit the OHLA website at [OHLA Fee Information](https://example.com/ohla-fees).
Step 5: Request License Verification
To complete the endorsement process, you need to request verification of your current Speech-Language Pathology license from the state where you currently hold licensure. This verification should be sent directly to the OSHLB.
Contact your current state licensing board for instructions on how to request license verification and have it sent to the OSHLB.
Step 6: Submit Application and Supporting Documents
Now that you have completed the application, gathered the required documentation, and obtained license verification, it's time to submit your application packet. Ensure that you include all the necessary documents and the application fee.
Submit your application packet to the OHLA following the instructions provided on their website at [OHLA Application Submission](https://example.com/ohla-submission).
Step 7: Monitor Application Status
After submitting your application, it's essential to monitor its status. The OHLA provides an online portal where you can track the progress of your endorsement license application.
To access the application status portal, visit [OHLA Application Status](https://example.com/ohla-status) and log in using the credentials you created during the application submission.
Step 8: Obtain Your Endorsement License
Once your application is approved, you will receive your endorsement license from the OHLA. You can download and print your license from the online portal.
