How to Apply
To apply for licensure in Iowa, an applicant must complete the paper application and submit it to the Board of Medicine along with all required additional documentation and the application fee. The application may be found here:
Genetic Counselor License Application
Once your application has been reviewed, you will receive an email updating you as to the status of your application. When your application is accepted, we will send you a background check packet to complete. The background check packet must be returned to the Board and verified before your license may be issued.
NOTE: Do not use duplex printing when printing the completed application. One-sided applications will be processed more quickly.
