How do I decide which credential to apply for?
You must review the license requirements, scope of practice and laws relating to a particular profession(s) to determine which credential is the best fit for the services you provide. We can answer questions about the application process or credentialing requirements but cannot tell you for which credential you should apply. You may find the health professions and license requirements on the Professions A to Z webpage. The Military to Civilian Crosswalk of Health Professions (PDF) may also assist in your decision.
