Michigan enacts new chiropractic rules

The state of Michigan has voted to require the NBCE Part IV Exam in 2007, bringing the number of states now accepting or requiring the Part IV to 48. The Part IV requirement is a result of administrative rule changes passed by the Michigan Board of Chiropractic. Michigan’s rule for licensure now states that for applications filed on or after January 1, 2007, an applicant shall have Parts I, II, III, and IV of examinations conducted and scored by the NBCE.

Other changes in Michigan include raising the continuing education requirement (CE) for license renewal to 30 hours, adding a one-hour (each) CE requirement in sexual boundaries, ethics and pain management, and updated requirements for patient record keeping.

If you have any questions regarding these rules, call 517-335-0918 or visit www.michigan.gov/healthlicense.
