New York does not participate in interstate licensure compacts for lab professionals, so you must obtain New York credentials before beginning your assignment. Requirements typically include completing an approved clinical laboratory program, passing a national certification exam, and submitting an application to the New York State Department of Health. Your Fusion recruiter can guide you through the New York licensing process, help gather required documentation, and ensure all credentials are in place before your travel lab assignment begins. Processing times vary, so starting early is recommended.
