How to Obtain an X-Ray Tech Endorsement License in Maryland

Before diving into the licensing process, familiarize yourself with the requirements set by the Maryland Board of Physicians (MBP). The MBP oversees the licensing of X-Ray Technicians in the state. Visit their official website at [MBP Website](http://www.mbp.state.md.us/) to access the latest information and guidelines.

To obtain an endorsement license in Maryland, you must have completed a formal educational program in radiography or a related field. Ensure that your educational program is recognized by the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC). Visit [MHEC's website](http://www.mhec.state.md.us/) for a list of approved educational institutions in Maryland.

Clinical experience is a crucial aspect of becoming an X-Ray Technician. Maryland requires a specified number of supervised clinical hours to ensure competence in the field. Seek employment opportunities or internships in healthcare facilities that provide hands-on experience in radiography. Explore opportunities on job search platforms such as Indeed, Monster, or LinkedIn.

Once you have fulfilled the educational and clinical requirements, you are ready to submit your application for an endorsement license. The MBP offers an online application portal for a streamlined process. Visit their [Online Application Portal](http://www.mbp.state.md.us/forms.html) to access the application form. Ensure that you have all the necessary documentation, including educational transcripts, proof of clinical hours, and any additional certificates or licenses.

There is a fee associated with the endorsement license application process. To find the current fee structure, visit the MBP's official website or refer to the Maryland Administrative Code. The fee covers the evaluation of your application and the processing of your endorsement license.

Before granting an endorsement license, the MBP requires applicants to undergo a background check. You will be provided with instructions on how to complete this check during the application process. Make sure to comply with all requirements and provide accurate information.

After submitting your application and completing the necessary steps, the MBP will review your application. The review process may take several weeks to complete. Once approved, you will receive your endorsement license, allowing you to practice as an X-Ray Technician in the state of Maryland.
