STATE LICENSING BOARDS
 

Listed below is contact information for each U.S. State licensing board. This list is updated regularly, but for the most up-to-date information, you may wish to visit the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards web site.
Click here for the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards web site (www.fclb.org).

The Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards (FCLB) site
also provides a list of chiropractic regulatory boards in Australia, Mexico, Canada, U.S. states and U.S. territories. On the FCLB web site, click on "Chiropractic Boards" - the fourth menu item on the left.

Licensure Information

 

* Must have a bachelor's degree before taking the state board exam.
** Must have a bachelor's degree before entering chiropractic college.
*** Requires physiotherapy as part of the chiropractic curriculum
**** All pre-requisite course work must be completed at a non-chiropractic college


All Canadian provinces accept Sherman College graduates.

Some states require certification in the area of physiotherapy, which is not included in the Sherman College curriculum. However, Sherman College has made arrangements for students to obtain the required certification prior to taking the licensing exam in these states. If a student opts to take the course, an additional fee of $650 is to be paid by the student.

It is your responsibility to contact the individual state licensing board(s) of chiropractic examiners in the state(s) you may want to practice in upon graduation to obtain specific requirements for licensure in that state. This should be done prior to entering the D.C. program. You can find this information on the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Board at www.fclb.org.
