How many years must board members be licensed before appointment?

Board members must be licensed for five years before being appointed to ensure that they possess significant experience in the field of chiropractic practice. This duration allows individuals to develop a comprehensive understanding of the profession, including clinical skills, ethical practices, and regulatory standards. By having board members with at least five years of active practice, the regulatory body can benefit from their insights, experiences, and informed perspectives on important matters related to chiropractic care and public health. This requirement supports the overall quality of governance within the chiropractic regulatory framework, ensuring that decisions are made with the benefit of substantial expertise and knowledge of the profession.
