Ohio Laws and Rules
(A) It shall be the objective of a chiropractic educational institution and/or program approved by the state chiropractic board to prepare the graduate doctor of chiropractic as a primary health care provider, as a portal of entry into the health delivery system, trained to examine, diagnose, and assume responsibility for the care of patients and to care for the human body in both health and disease. The graduate doctor of chiropractic shall be qualified to consult with, refer to, and/or receive referrals from, other health care providers.
(B) The curriculum of board-approved chiropractic educational institutions and/or programs shall include, but not be limited to, the following subjects: anatomy; biochemistry; physiology; microbiology; pathology; public health; physical, clinical, and laboratory diagnosis; gynecology; obstetrics; pediatrics; geriatrics; dermatology; otolaryngology; diagnostic imaging procedures; psychology; nutrition/dietetics; biomechanics; orthopedics; neurology; first aid and emergency procedures; spinal analysis; principles and practice of chiropractic; adjustive techniques; rehabilitative procedures, including physiological therapeutics and/or ancillary therapeutics; clinical decision making; research methods and procedures; and professional practice ethics.
(C) The board adopts by reference the most current version of the standards for doctor of chiropractic programs and requirements for institutional status (hereinafter “Standards”) issued by the council on chiropractic education (hereinafter “CCE”). If the “CCE” changes its name or the name of its “Standards”, the board may substitute the correct name(s) and the reference in this rule to the “CCE” and/or “Standards” which shall be deemed to be a reference to the corrected name(s).
(D) In considering whether to approve a program or institution, or to continue approval of a program or institution, the board shall utilize the “CCE” standards in making its decision, but it is not bound by the accreditation decisions of the commission on accreditation of the “CCE”.
(E) Chiropractic educational institutions and programs with board approval prior to the effective date of this rule shall continue to have approval for its doctor of chiropractic graduates to be eligible for licensure in Ohio. This approval continues until it is removed in accordance with this chapter. Board approval of programs and institutions runs concurrently with the “CCE” accreditation. Therefore, institutions and programs that are in the process of renewing accreditation with the “CCE” are deemed to be in the same process for renewing approval with the board.
