The license application process involves the collection of credentials from you the applicant, and from other sources as well.  Once all application materials have been collected, our staff must review them.  After reviews have been done, it may be necessary for the staff to request additional information, and/or to return items that need corrections or clarifications.  It is our goal to review materials as quickly as possible, but we must be thorough.  You should expect the entire process to take several weeks from the time your application is received by the PAC.  Please adhere to the following guidelines: 
1.  Beginning July 1, 2006, you may not practice as a perfusionist in North Carolina without a license. 
2. There are some items that must be sent from the primary source.  However, some agencies will not send credentials to the applicant.  Credentials received prior to receiving your application will be held in our office for one year.
3.  If you have been named in any malpractice suits, or have answered, “yes” to any of the questions on our application, anticipate the possibility that additional information will be requested and an interview may be required. 
4.  All application information is strictly confidential pursuant to state law.  Therefore, we may only speak to the applicant about the application.  Relatives, staff members, future employers or placement services cannot be informed about the status of your application. 
5. You will be notified in writing regarding any deficiencies in your application once it has been reviewed. 
6. Questions regarding your application can be e-mailed to license@ncmedboard.org.  Note: It is recommended that you keep a copy of application materials as we will be unable to return original or photocopied application materials once received.
