NBCE Puts Test Scores Online

Dynamic Chiropractic 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.

Whether you're already in-network or pondering whether to join, here's what you need to know.

Guidelines vs. Care: Bridging the Gap
Guidelines vs. Care: Bridging the Gap

What happens when best practices for patient care fall outside what guidelines endorse or insurance will cover? More importantly, how can clinicians ethically and effectively integrate non-reimbursed services that improve function, reduce disability and support long-term outcomes? These are not just clinical questions; they are economic and policy challenges that directly affect practice viability and patient access.
