NBCE Puts Test Scores Online

Editorial Staff

As of Oct. 24, chiropractic students who participated in the fall 2003 Part I, Part II, Part III, Acupuncture and/or Physiotherapy exams administered by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) can view their scores online by visiting the NBCE Web site (www.nbce.org) and selecting the "Online Access to Scores" link. Students will need their NBCE identification number in order to locate their scores.

Students who took the NBCE Part IV exam in November will be able to access their scores online as of Dec. 26, 2003. Even though scores reported online are not official, the goal is to get scores to students as soon as possible. Examinees will continue to receive written confirmation of their scores by regular mail.

The fall risk is not huge, and falls are not frequent. However, I have encountered a few situations that have influenced how I use and teach the test.

A Chiropractic Therapist Profession in the United States?
A Chiropractic Therapist Profession in the United States?

Sadly, Japan now has over 12,000 chiropractic therapists (Zenkenkai/JCA chiropractors), dramatically outnumbering the fewer than 700 DCs who have graduated from accredited chiropractic educational programs. These chiropractic therapists have a clear economic and political advantage that makes appropriate chiropractic legislation nearly impossible. What if this same thing happenened in the U.S.?
