Step 1: Meet the Requirements
Before beginning the endorsement license process, it's important to ensure that you meet the necessary requirements set by the Montana Board of Pathology Assistant Examiners. You must have already acquired a valid Pathology Assistant license in another state, and should demonstrate compliance with the academic and clinical experience requirements. For a detailed overview of the requirements, please refer to the Montana Board of Pathology Assistant Examiners' website.
Step 2: Submit the Application
Once you have confirmed your eligibility, it is time to submit your application for endorsement licensure. Visit the Montana Board of Pathology Assistant Examiners' website and navigate to the 'Forms' section. Download and complete the 'Pathology Assistant Endorsement Application.' Make sure to provide accurate and detailed information to expedite the review process. Additionally, ensure that all supporting documents are included as specified in the application instructions.
Step 3: Pay the Required Fees
With your completed application, you will need to submit the necessary fees to the Montana Board of Pathology Assistant Examiners. The current fees can be found on their website's 'Fees' section. Please note that these fees are subject to change, and it is advisable to verify the exact amount at the time of application. The Board accepts payments in the form of check or money order payable to the 'Montana Board of Pathology Assistant Examiners.'
Step 4: Criminal Background Check
As part of the endorsement license process, a criminal background check is required. You must schedule an appointment with an authorized fingerprinting agency in Montana to complete this step. Visit the Montana Department of Justice's website for a list of authorized fingerprinting locations and further instructions. It is important to complete the criminal background check well in advance to avoid any delays in the application process.
