NBCE Diplomate Certificate Status Clarified

Horace C. Elliott

The NBCE Board of Directors has announced that those individuals who received an NBCE Diplomate certificate prior to February 1983 may rightfully use that designation. However, those who completed the National Board exams after this date, and received an NBCE Certificate of Attainment, are not eligible to use the term "Diplomate," but rather are designated National Board of Chiropractic Examiners certificate holders.

Unauthorized use of the NBCE Diplomate credential constitutes a fraudulent action. The NBCE takes whatever measures are within its scope of power to prevent the misuse of NBCE certificate or transcript information; beyond those measures, regretably, it can assume no responsibility for the assertion of inaccurate credentials by individuals in the field.
