Q: Where can I go to receive training for this profession?

Q: Once I am licensed, when will I have to renew it?
A: www.doh.state.fl.us/mqa/Reneal/clprenewal/clp_renewal.html
Q: If I am certified or registered by a national certifying board or
registry, and have taken their examination, will I still have to become
licensed in Florida?
A: Yes. However, you still must meet the state requirements for licensure.
Q: What are the specific technical areas in which I may apply for
licensure?
A: The categories are: Microbiology, Serology/Immunology, Clinical Chemistry, Hematology, Immunohematology, Histology, Cytology, Cytogenetics, Blood Banking/Immunohematology, Histocompatibility, Molecular Genetics, Andrology and Embryology.
Q: If I do not have a state license, when am I eligible to work in
Florida?
A: When your application and all supporting documents have been received by the board office, you may request a temporary license. Not all applicants are eligible to receive a temporary license. If you have taken a national exam you will be deemed ineligible to receive a temporary license.
Q: How long does the temporary license last?
A: No longer than one year (12 months). Failure to appear for a national
examination or failure of the examination voids the temporary license. |
