Guide to Endorsement License Procedures for Vascular Tech in Tennessee

Before you begin the endorsement license process, it's crucial to familiarize yourself with the licensing requirements set by the Tennessee Department of Health (TDH). You can find detailed information on their official website: [TDH Licensing Requirements](https://www.tn.gov/health/health-program-areas/health-professional-boards/emergency-medical-services-board/licensing.html). Ensure that you have met all the prerequisites, such as education and work experience, to proceed smoothly to the next step.

To avoid any delays, gather all the necessary documentation beforehand. Some of the common documents you will need include:

1. Completed endorsement application form (available on the [TDH website](https://www.tn.gov/health/health-program-areas/health-professional-boards/emergency-medical-services-board/licensing.html)).

2. Proof of completion of an accredited Vascular Technology program.

3. Verification of any additional licenses or certifications you hold in other states.

4. Transcripts from your educational institution.

5. Proof of identity (e.g., passport, driver's license).

Make sure to have these documents ready in digital format for easy submission during the application process.

Once you have gathered all the required documentation, it's time to submit your endorsement license application. Visit the [TDH Licensing Portal](https://www.tn.gov/content/tn/health/health-professional-boards/emergency-medical-services-board/ems-licensure.html) to create an account and access the online application. Fill out the application form accurately and ensure that all information provided matches your supporting documents.

Remember to double-check the application for any errors or missing information before submitting. Incomplete or inaccurate applications can cause delays in the processing time.

To complete your application, you will need to pay the required endorsement license fee. The fee amount may vary, so it's essential to check the current fee structure on the [TDH website](https://www.tn.gov/health/health-program-areas/health-professional-boards/emergency-medical-services-board/licensing.html). The website will direct you to the appropriate vendor to process the payment online.

Please note that payment processing is handled by a third-party vendor, and any questions or issues related to payment should be directed to them.

The Tennessee Department of Health requires a background check as part of the endorsement license process. Once your application and fee payment are received, the department will initiate the verification process. This process may involve criminal background checks, license verifications from other states, and other relevant screenings.

Ensure that your provided contact information is accurate so that the department can reach out to you if any additional information or documentation is required.

After completing all the necessary steps, it's time to patiently await the approval of your endorsement license. The timeline for processing applications may vary, but you can track the status of your application through the [TDH Licensing Portal](https://www.tn.gov/content/tn/health/health-professional-boards/emergency-medical-services-board/ems-licensure.html). Once your license is approved, you can download and print a copy for your records. Congratulations, you're now ready to practice as a Vascular Tech in Tennessee!
