Additional Licensure Requirements
Important! Board Certified Supervising Chiropractors must submit a CA Notification of Employment Form to the Board as soon as they are hired. There are stiff penalties if a CA is found working without first being registered with the board so do not delay registering any new CAs.
CA applicants must complete all requirements within 11 months of registration so their application and documentation can be submitted, and so they can complete their examination within a one-year period of hire. Dates of examination can be found in the "Exam Resource" section of the Board of Examiners Website.
CAs must complete their online and hands-on training, show a certificate of "Provider Level" Red Cross or American Heart Association CPR training, and submit them with documentation of 520 hours in office training 30 days prior to the date of examination. It is the Supervising chiropractor's duty to document 520 hours of in-service training. For full licensure requirements, please visit the MD State Board of Chiropractic Examiners page .
Any questions regarding the duties of a supervising chiropractor or the CA application process should be made directly to the Board of Examiners at (410) 767-6500.
