Section 1: Understanding the Endorsement License
Before diving into the endorsement license procedures, it's essential to understand what an endorsement license entails. In Arizona, endorsement is the process by which a Medical Lab Scientist who currently holds a valid license in another state seeks to obtain a license in Arizona based on their existing qualifications and credentials. This allows professionals to utilize their skills and experience without going through the entire examination process again.
