Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass chiropractic licensure state by state. The DCs in Japan must accomplish this nationally, which has proved to be an extremely difficult task. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.
Chiropractic Board of Clinical Nutrition Grandfathering Period Extended
The American Chiropractic Association's House of Delegates has approved an extension period for grandfathering doctors of chiropractic as diplomates of the Chiropractic Board of Clinical Nutrition (CBCN). The new deadline is Feb. 3, 2010. Any doctor of chiropractic who has taken nutrition classes offered through an accredited institution may be eligible to be grandfathered into the CBCN until that date.
