Endorsement License Procedures for Radiation Therapists in Alabama

Before initiating the endorsement license process, it's crucial to ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria set by the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners (ABME). To become a licensed Radiation Therapist in Alabama, you must have completed an accredited radiation therapy program and hold a valid license in another state. Additionally, you need to provide verification of employment or, if not currently employed, proof of eligibility for employment as a Radiation Therapist.

To start the endorsement procedure, you'll need to gather the following documents:

a. Completed ABME application form.
b. Notarized copy of your current active license from the state in which you are currently licensed.
c. Verification of your education from the accrediting body.
d. Verification of employment or eligibility for employment as a Radiation Therapist.
e. Proof of identification (e.g., copy of driver's license, passport, or other government-issued ID).
f. Any other additional documentation as specified in the ABME application instructions.

Make sure to review the ABME website for the most up-to-date list of required documents.

Once you have gathered all the necessary documents, it's time to submit your application to the ABME. You can find the application form and detailed instructions on the ABME website. Remember to complete the form accurately and ensure that all required fields are completed. Incomplete applications may cause delays in the processing time.

As part of the endorsement license process, you will be required to pay application and licensing fees. The fees cover the cost of processing your application and issuing your license. To find the current fees and payment instructions, refer to the fee schedule on the ABME website. Payment methods may include credit/debit card or electronic funds transfer. Please note that the fees are subject to change, so it's essential to refer to the most recent fee schedule.

The ABME requires verification of your current license and employment history. You will need to request license verification from the licensing board in your current state of licensure. Additionally, the ABME may conduct a background check as part of the application process. Ensure that you provide accurate contact information to facilitate the verification and background check procedures.

Once your completed application, documentation, and fees have been received by the ABME, they will begin reviewing your submission. The review process may take several weeks to complete. If everything is in order, you will receive notification of your approval. Upon approval, you will be issued a radiation therapist license in Alabama.
