| Facilitating Certification |
|
The Oregon Health Licensing Agency (OHLA) created this "Tools for Schools" Web page to facilitate the certification process for graduating students. Our goal is to help qualified candidates obtain certification as quickly as possible so they can start working.
Do you have ideas for the "Tools for Schools" page? What information do you think would be helpful to schools and students? Call 503-378-8667 or e-mail ohla.info@state.or.us to let us know.
