Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) Requirements.--The following educational and professional requirements must be met in order to secure a limited license which may be issued to an out-of-State or foreign chiropractic school or college graduate for a period not to exceed one year for the purpose of teaching in an approved graduate chiropractic education program:

(1) The applicant must submit a letter of appointment to teach or practice from a training institution in this Commonwealth.

(2) The applicant must submit an application for licensure consisting of evidence that all requirements contained in this act have been met.

(3) The applicant must submit evidence that he has had teaching experience or its equivalent which is acceptable to the board.

(4) The applicant must submit to an oral examination in his specialty conducted by a board member or the board's designated representative.

(b) License to practice.--Persons granted limited licenses under this section shall not be authorized to practice chiropractic in this Commonwealth other than for the purpose of teaching, which shall not include treatment of patients, and those persons who subsequently desire to obtain a license for the practice of chiropractic shall be required to meet the standards for such license as set forth by regulation.

(c) Use of titles.--The use of titles such as “fellow,” “fellowship,” “consultant,” “visiting professor” or similar designations of an individual in a health care institution does not eliminate the need for proper licensure under this act for the practice of chiropractic.
