HB796

Louisiana HB796 regulates the Louisiana Board of Chiropractic Examiners by defining roles and responsibilities for preceptors and preceptees.

Louisiana HB796 amends the Louisiana Board of Chiropractic Examiners' regulations by defining "preceptor" and "preceptee" and establishing their roles and responsibilities. A preceptor, a licensed chiropractor, may delegate tasks to a preceptee, a chiropractic student, but must be physically present when adjustments or manipulations are performed. Preceptors cannot delegate diagnostic or treatment planning responsibilities to preceptees. Preceptees are prohibited from presenting themselves as licensed chiropractors while performing adjustments or manipulations.
