How does the Arizona board handle licensed chiropractors convicted of a felony?

The Arizona Board of Chiropractic recognizes the seriousness of felony convictions among licensed chiropractors and has established protocols to address such situations. When a chiropractor is convicted of a felony, it triggers a mandatory reporting requirement. This means that the individual is obligated to inform the Board of the conviction. Following this report, the Board may take disciplinary action, which can vary based on the nature of the offense and its implications for public safety and trust in the profession.

This approach allows the Board to assess each case on its merits while ensuring that public safety remains a priority. The potential disciplinary actions can range from reprimands to suspension or even revocation of the chiropractic license, depending on the specifics of the case. By mandating reporting, the Board maintains oversight and can enforce the laws designed to protect the public and uphold the integrity of the chiropractic profession.
