Establishes option for students nearing completion of program in chiropractic medicine to participate in preceptorship provided by State-licensed chiropractor.
This bill allows chiropractic medicine students in their final year or two semesters to complete supervised clinical training under a New Jersey-licensed chiropractor, known as a preceptorship. Students must apply for a non-renewable limited license through the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners, providing proof of good academic standing and paying a fee. The student's chiropractic school must also be approved by the board. The goal is to support New Jersey chiropractic program graduates in transitioning to licensure and practicing within the state.
