Step 1: Meet the Requirements
Before initiating the endorsement license procedure, it is crucial to ensure that you meet the necessary requirements set by the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure (MSBML). Their website, [MSBML Website](https://www.msbml.ms.gov/), provides detailed information on the specific requirements for Physician Assistant licensure. It is essential to review these requirements thoroughly to guarantee eligibility.
Step 2: Complete the Application
Once you have confirmed your eligibility, the next step is to complete the license application. The MSBML utilizes the online portal, [MSBML Online Portal](https://msbml.ms.gov/), for application submissions. This user-friendly portal offers a streamlined application process for PAs seeking endorsement licensure. Be sure to fill out the application carefully, providing accurate and up-to-date information.
