National Board Cancels January Exams
On the heels of repeated issues involving both its March and June computerized testing examinations, the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners has announced it has cancelled its January 2017 exams "until we are absolutely confident of [the testing's] success," according to NBCE President Dr. Paul Morin.
With the computer-based testing program now on hold, examinees will need to wait until at least March to take the Part 1, II, II and Physiotherapy exams originally scheduled for Jan. 21-22, 2017.
