1. Determine Eligibility
Before applying for an endorsement license in Indiana, it's essential to review the eligibility criteria set by the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH). Ensure that you meet all the requirements, including the completion of an accredited dialysis technician training program and any necessary work experience. You can find the detailed eligibility criteria on the ISDH's website: [ISDH Licensing Guidelines](https://www.in.gov/isdh/23269.htm).
2. Submit Application
To initiate the endorsement license application process, you need to download and complete the application form provided by the ISDH. The application form can be found on the ISDH's Licensing and Certification online portal: [ISDH Licensing Portal](https://mylicense.in.gov/egov/). Ensure that you gather all the required documents, such as your educational transcripts, proof of training, and any relevant certifications, before submitting the application.
3. Background Check
As part of the endorsement license process, you will be required to undergo a criminal background check. The ISDH mandates that all healthcare professionals, including Dialysis Techs, undergo this check. You can find more information about the background check process and the necessary forms on the ISDH's website: [ISDH Criminal Background Check](https://www.in.gov/isdh/26911.htm). It's important to complete this step accurately and provide any additional documentation that may be required.

To finalize your endorsement license application, you will need to pay the required fees. The application fee and licensing fees are subject to change, and you can find the most up-to-date information on the ISDH's website under the 'Fees' section: [ISDH Licensing Fees](https://www.in.gov/isdh/23265.htm). Ensure that you follow the specified payment methods and submit the fees along with your application to avoid any delays in processing.
