Frequently Asked Questions; Continuing Education and Audit Information

Q:  I have been licensed for five (5) years or more and have not taken all parts of the National Board examinations.  Will I be required to go back and take these parts?

A:  All applicants are required to pass the National Board Examination Parts which were in effect at the time of graduation from chiropractic college. Please see Rule 100 regarding endorsement applicants.

Q: May I apply for a temporary permit while waiting to take and receive the results from the National Board Examinations?

A:  If you have graduated from Chiropractic College, you may apply for one temporary permit that will be valid for no longer than a 12-month period.  No work permit will be issued to an applicant who has previously failed an examination for licensure in this or any other state, territory, possession, or country more than once. You must take the next available examination and have an approved State of Idaho licensed Chiropractic Physician supervise you.

Q: What is the timeline to receive my license once my application is submitted?

A:  Once all required documentation has been received, applications are reviewed for compliance with law and rule.  If compliance is confirmed, a license will be issued, generally within 7-10 business days.

Continuing Education Approval Application

AUDITS

The Board conducts annual audits to ensure compliance with the continuing education requirements.  Audits may be initiated any time after you renew your license.  By submitting your renewal and answering “Yes” to the question that you have met the continuing education requirements, you are certifying to the Board that you have already obtained proof of having completed the required continuing education.

When you are audited, you must submit a listing of all continuing education courses completed during the previous year AND proof of completion documentation for each course.  Failure to submit the required documentation may result in Board action against your right to licensure.
