Nat'l Board Offers Online Sample Tests

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

The National Board of Chiropractic Examiners has developed sample tests to assist chiropractic candidates to prepare for the national boards. Sample tests are available on line (www.nbce.org) for Part I, Part II, Part III, and Physiotherapy.

The sample tests, according to the NBCE, are "representative of the style and quality of actual NBCE examination questions."

The Part I, Part II, and Physiotherapy tests contain 50 questions and cost $15 each. The NBCE suggests that candidates replicate testing conditions by allowing 40 minutes for each of these tests. Part III has 75 questions, costs $20, and should be timed for 90 minutes.

The NBCE specifies: "Once you start a sample test, you must provide an answer to each question before proceeding. When you complete a sample test, you will receive a list of the questions that you answered incorrectly along with the correct answer."

For further information, contact Joanne Monath, director of professional relations and communications at the NBCE: (970) 356-9100 ext. 119.

From Search to Selection: Why AI Visibility Matters for DCs
From Search to Selection: Why AI Visibility Matters for DCs

Patients are no longer just searching; they are asking. Consumers increasingly use AI-powered platforms such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Perplexity to ask complete questions in conversational language. Instead of typing “chiropractor Miami,” patients may ask, “What is the best nonsurgical treatment for sciatica?” or “Who helps pregnant women with low back pain near me? This shift represents one of the biggest changes in healthcare marketing since the rise of Google itself.

A National Turning Point: N.J. Board Rejects Insurer Medical X-Ray Rules for DCs

The New Jersey Board of Chiropractic Examiners has made a precedential decision, concurring with the Association of New Jersey Chiropractors' (ANJC) position paper on chiropractic X-ray guidelines. In plain terms, the board ruled, consistent with the ANJC position, that insurance companies cannot use medical X-ray rules or recommendations, like those written by the American College of Radiology (ACR), to decide whether a chiropractor's X-ray was necessary.

Are You Meeting the Chiropractic Standard of Care?
Are You Meeting the Chiropractic Standard of Care?

The term standard of care is a legal term and a medical concept. There is no single, universally recognized standard of care document or authoritative reference. The medical concept defines what practitioners should do in practice. The legal term used determines whether a practitioner failed to meet that expectation. This article examines the standard of care for the doctor of chiropractic.
