If a chiropractor with an inactive license wishes to return to active status, what may the board require?

The board may require possible training and testing for a chiropractor with an inactive license wishing to return to active status because maintaining competency in the field is crucial for patient care and safety. This process often ensures that practitioners are up-to-date with the latest developments and best practices in chiropractic care.

Chiropractic licensure typically involves various standards set by the state board, which may include demonstrating knowledge through examination, completing continuing education, or undergoing training programs. These requirements are in place to verify that the chiropractor has the necessary skills and knowledge to practice safely and effectively after a period of inactivity.

Choosing to require both training and testing helps to ensure that the returning chiropractor can competently meet the standards of practice and protect public health, addressing any potential gaps in their skills that may have developed during their time away from active practice.
