S 196 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes option for students nearing completion of program in chiropractic medicine to participate in preceptorship provided by state-licensed chiropractor.

This bill (S 196) allows chiropractic medicine students in their final year or two semesters to complete supervised clinical training under a licensed New Jersey chiropractor. It creates a "limited license" requiring students to apply through the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners, provide proof of academic standing, pay a fee, and pass a background check. The Board must establish rules for preceptor qualifications, direct supervision standards, and scope of practice during these training periods. The program expires upon graduation or program withdrawal, directly affecting students nearing completion of chiropractic programs in New Jersey.
