1. Determine Eligibility
Before initiating the endorsement license process, it is important to ensure your eligibility. The Minnesota Board of Medical Practice (MBMP) governs PA licensure in the state. Visit their website at [MBMP Eligibility](https://www.mbmp.state.mn.us/Licensing/PA/) to review the eligibility requirements for endorsement licensure. It is crucial to verify that you meet the necessary criteria before proceeding.
2. Complete Application
Once you have confirmed your eligibility, it is time to begin the application process. Obtain the endorsement application form from the MBMP website. Fill out the form accurately and ensure all required fields are completed. For detailed instructions and to access the application form, visit [MBMP Endorsement Application](https://www.mbmp.state.mn.us/Licensing/PA/Application-Info.aspx).
3. Provide Supporting Documents
Along with the completed application form, you will need to submit certain supporting documents to the MBMP. These may include but are not limited to the following:
- Verified documentation of your current PA license
- Verification of relevant work experience
- Transcripts from your PA program
- Verification of any disciplinary actions (if applicable)
Refer to the MBMP website for the specific list of required documents.
4. Request Verification of License
The MBMP requires verification of your current PA license from the state in which you are currently licensed. Contact the appropriate licensing authority to submit a verification request. The MBMP will only accept verification sent directly from the licensing authority to maintain authenticity. Allow sufficient time for the verification process.
5. Submit Fees
As part of the endorsement license process, certain fees must be paid to the MBMP. Visit the MBMP website for the current fee schedule and payment options. Please note that TLC Travel Staff does not handle the fees directly. For specific details regarding payment, refer to the [MBMP Fee Schedule](https://www.mbmp.state.mn.us/Licensing/PA/Application-Info.aspx).
6. Await Application Review
Upon submission of your endorsement application, supporting documents, license verification, and payment, the MBMP will review your application. This process may take several weeks. Ensure that all required documents are accurately provided to avoid delays in application review and processing.
7. Obtain Minnesota License
Once your application is reviewed and approved by the MBMP, you will receive your endorsement license. Congratulations! You may now practice as a Physician's Assistant in Minnesota. The MBMP will provide further instructions on license activation, issuance, and any additional requirements.
