1. Determine Eligibility
Before beginning the endorsement license procedure, ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria set by the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH). Visit the DPH website at [link](http://www.ct.gov/dph/) to review the requirements and confirm your eligibility for endorsement as a Phlebotomist in Connecticut.
2. Submit Application
To initiate the endorsement process, you will need to submit an application to the DPH. Access the DPH's online application portal at [link](http://www.ct.gov/dph/) and complete the required forms accurately. Make sure to attach any requested documents (such as proof of education, certifications, and work experience) to support your application.
3. Background Check
As part of the endorsement process, you will be required to undergo a background check. The DPH will provide instructions on how to complete this step. Follow their guidelines and provide the necessary information to facilitate the background check process.
4. Verification of Other Licenses
If you hold an active Phlebotomy license in another state, you may be required to provide verification of that license. Contact the respective licensing board in that state to request a verification form. Ensure that the form is sent directly to the DPH office in Connecticut to expedite the endorsement process.
5. Education and Training
Connecticut may have specific education and training requirements for Phlebotomists seeking endorsement. Make sure to fulfill these requirements by providing proof of completing an approved Phlebotomy program or equivalent. Contact accredited educational institutions offering Phlebotomy programs or visit the DPH website for a list of approved programs.
6. Fees and Payments
During the application process, you will be required to pay the necessary fees. Details regarding fees and acceptable payment methods can be found on the DPH website. Please note that TLC Travel Staff is unable to provide specific cost information, as fees are subject to change.
