We understand the importance of having a valid license to practice healthcare in different states, and we're here to assist you throughout the process. This step-by-step guide will provide you with all the necessary information and resources to simplify your licensing journey in Kentucky.

Step 1: Verify Eligibility

Before initiating the endorsement license process, make sure you meet the eligibility requirements set by the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure (KBML). The KBML is the official licensing authority for CMAs in Kentucky. Visit their website at https://kbml.ky.gov/ to access detailed eligibility information and ensure you qualify for endorsement in Kentucky.

Step 2: Complete Application

Once you've confirmed your eligibility, it's time to prepare your endorsement application. The KBML utilizes the Kentucky Online Gateway (KOG) for online license applications. Head over to the KOG website at https://kog.chfs.ky.gov/ to create an account if you don't have one already. Follow the instructions to complete the CMA endorsement application. Be sure to gather all required documentation, including your current CMA license and any supporting materials needed for endorsement.

Step 3: Submit Application and Fees

After filling out the application form, review it carefully to ensure accuracy and completeness. Please note that endorsement fees are subject to change, so consult the official KBML website for the most up-to-date fee information. Submit your application and any required fees through the KOG portal. You'll be notified of fee payment instructions during the application process.

Step 4: Verification of Credentials

Upon receiving your application, the KBML will verify your credentials and perform the necessary background checks. This process may take a few weeks to complete. Stay informed about the progress of your application by regularly checking the status through the KOG portal. Be prepared to provide any additional documentation or respond to any requests from the KBML during the verification process.

Step 5: Notification and License Issuance

Once the KBML has successfully processed your endorsement application and verified your credentials, you will receive notification of your license approval. At this stage, make sure to update any necessary personal information in your KOG account. Your CMA endorsement license will be issued by the KBML upon verification. Keep a copy of your license in a safe place and ensure it is readily accessible when practicing healthcare in Kentucky.
