licensure process

Licensure is the process by which a government authority grants a professional the legal right to practice in a specific field, such as healthcare, law, or engineering. It involves meeting educational and experience requirements, submitting an application, and passing exams or assessments to demonstrate competence. The goal is to ensure practitioners are qualified and capable of providing safe, ethical, and effective services. Once licensed, professionals must often renew their license periodically and continue their education to maintain their credentials.
