Professional Licensure

Professional licensure is a formal process that grants individuals the legal authority to practice a specific profession, like medicine, law, or engineering. To obtain a license, candidates typically must meet certain educational and experience requirements, pass exams, and adhere to ethical standards. This ensures that professionals are qualified and competent to perform their duties safely and effectively. Licensure helps protect the public by ensuring that practitioners have the necessary knowledge and skills, and it often requires ongoing education to maintain the license.
