What types of examinations must be passed for chiropractic licensure in Arizona?

For chiropractic licensure in Arizona, candidates are required to pass both the National Board examinations and the Arizona jurisprudence exam.

The National Board examinations assess the applicant's knowledge and competency in chiropractic practice through various parts that cover different areas of clinical knowledge, while the Arizona jurisprudence exam evaluates the applicant's understanding of the specific laws and regulations governing chiropractic practice in the state. This dual requirement ensures that licensees not only have the necessary clinical skills but also understand the legal context in which they will operate.

Passing both examinations is critical to ensure that practitioners can deliver care effectively and within the regulatory framework established by the state of Arizona, emphasizing the importance of both medical competence and adherence to state laws.
