The Board of Chiropractic Examiners establishes quality review panels for every county in California. These three-member panels review specific complaints and are required to notify any licensee by certified mail at least 30 days prior to a scheduled hearing; at the same time, the panel must submit a summary of the complaint and supply supporting documentation.
The latest change to the review panel system is a requirement that each panel member have a minimum of five years experience as a chiropractic practitioner in California, and have no disciplinary action against their license.
