Please Note
Obtaining these certification(s) does not guarantee your eligibility to practice in any state.
State laws governing healthcare professions vary widely, and often change. To practice in your state, it is your sole obligation to independently confirm the specific requirements with the relevant oversight body. These bodies often have websites where you can find current information.
We recommend contacting the oversight body in your state to confirm their licensure requirements for your chosen profession and, in addition, we recommend that you check employer postings in your state to determine the specific credentials required for jobs of interest to you.
