Guide to Obtaining a Dialysis Tech Endorsement License in California

Before you begin the endorsement license application process, make sure you meet the basic requirements set by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). These requirements include:

1. Completion of a Board-approved hemodialysis training program
2. Current certification or license as a Dialysis Technician in another state

For more detailed information on these requirements, you can visit the CDPH website [link to CDPH website].

Once you've verified that you meet the basic requirements, it's time to gather the necessary documents for your endorsement license application. These documents may include:

1. Proof of completion of a Board-approved hemodialysis training program
2. Current certification or license as a Dialysis Technician in another state
3. Official transcripts from your training program
4. Two recent passport-sized photographs

For a complete list of required documents, refer to the CDPH endorsement license application checklist [link to checklist].

Now that you have all the required documentation, it's time to submit your endorsement license application to the CDPH. You can submit your application online through the CDPH Licensing and Certification Online Application Portal [link to application portal]. Make sure to pay the required application fee as specified on the portal.

To ensure a smooth application process, double-check that all documents are properly labeled, signed, and legible.

As part of the endorsement license application process, you'll need to undergo a background check and provide your fingerprints. The CDPH will provide you with instructions on how to complete this step once your application is received.

For information on the background check and fingerprinting process, you can visit the CDPH Background Check Information webpage [link to webpage].

After submitting your application and completing the background check, it's time to await approval from the CDPH. The processing time may vary, but you can check the status of your application through the CDPH License Verification webpage [link to webpage]. Once your application is approved, the CDPH will issue your Dialysis Tech endorsement license.

Congratulations! You are now ready to practice as a Dialysis Technician in California.
