What must a chiropractor do if they employ someone for educational purposes in their office?

When a chiropractor employs someone in their office for educational purposes, it is essential to notify the board using a form that they provide. This requirement is crucial because it ensures that the regulatory body is aware of all personnel involved in a chiropractic practice, especially those who might interact with patients or be involved in clinical education. By formally notifying the board, the chiropractor demonstrates compliance with state regulations, prioritizing patient safety and maintaining the integrity of professional practice standards.

Other options do not align with the specific legal requirements for such hires. While informing patients about new hires or displaying notices might be considered good practice for transparency, they do not fulfill legal obligations. Filing for a special permit is not necessary in this context, as the employed individual is not acting in a licensed capacity but rather in an educational role, which typically falls under existing regulations for internship or training positions.
