What is the substantive review time-frame for initial licenses?

The substantive review time-frame for initial licenses is 120 business days. This timeframe refers to the period during which the Arizona Board of Chiropractic Examiners conducts a thorough evaluation of an application for a new chiropractic license. This process ensures that all necessary qualifications, including education, training, and any required background checks, are properly assessed before granting a license to practice.

In the context of this review timeline, adhering to a specific duration helps both the board and the applicants manage expectations regarding the licensing process. It provides a structured approach to ensuring that all applicants meet the standards set forth by the state, while also allowing the board sufficient time to verify credentials and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. Knowing this timeframe is essential for applicants to understand the timelines they are working with as they prepare to enter the professional field.
