What chiropractors miss in Michigan
- Michigan licensing rules include a one-time requirement for training in identifying victims of human trafficking.
- Endorsement also accepts DCs licensed in a Canadian province.
Can a chiropractor licensed in another state get a Michigan license by endorsement?
A DC with a current, full license in another state or a Canadian province can apply by endorsement with NBCE Parts I–IV (or the Canadian CCEB components). Five years of licensure in good standing creates a presumption that the education and exam requirements are met.
- Endorsement route available
