What chiropractors miss in Wyoming
- Acupuncture requires documented competency: 100 hours of education, IAMA or NCCAOM certification, or the NBCE Acupuncture exam (Chapter 9, Section 2). Dry needling requires 24 hours of face-to-face training, written patient consent and no delegation (Section 3). Neither is a board registration.
- The NBCE requirement for endorsement is waived for DCs licensed more than ten years.
Can a chiropractor licensed in another state get a Wyoming license by endorsement?
A DC actively licensed in a jurisdiction with requirements as stringent as Wyoming's qualifies by endorsement with license verification and the Wyoming jurisprudence exam at 80 percent. The NBCE requirement is waived after more than ten years of licensure. Time out of practice adds CE or a recent SPEC.
- Endorsement route available
