Kevin (staff member) explained the difference between statutes and regulations and outlined the process for making changes: statutes require legislative action while regulations follow an administrative rulemaking process that includes public notice and possible hearings. \"If you want to make a change to a statute, you can make the recommendation to the commissioner of DPH to change a statute,\" Kevin said, adding that DPH would decide whether to advance a legislative request. He also warned the board the regulations review process can be \"long and arduous\" because of required public postings and hearings.

Board members asked for practical next steps. The group agreed each member should read the statutes before the next meeting, note specific suggested revisions, and bring those suggestions back for discussion. Betty Rosario was asked to email the statutes to all board members, and Kevin said he would email the disciplinary statute. The board set an hour-long discussion slot for statutes at the next meeting (anticipated in September) and asked staff to request RSVPs for meeting attendance.

Members stressed the goal was familiarization rather than immediate revision; no regulatory or statutory changes were approved at the meeting. The board asked staff to include references such as the FCLB model practice act and other background materials that could inform any possible future proposals.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Chiropractors 5.15.25","oneSentenceSummary","The board agreed to individually review the chiropractic statutes and related regulations before the next scheduled meeting in September and to bring suggested revisions to a timed discussion; staff will circulate the statutes and the disciplinary statute and the board set a one-hour limit for discussion at the next meeting.","taxTitle","Department of Public Health, Departments and Agencies, Organizations, Executive, Connecticut","taxId",15791,"location","Connecticut","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6218714,"Board hears national chiropractic exam changes, centralized testing and education-assessment pilots",793,272000,1065000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3625721-41abece2b83b093b5d282e55954aec04&start=272&end=1065","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3625721-41abece2b83b093b5d282e55954aec04/thumbnail_272000.jpg","/articles/6218714/Connecticut/Board-hears-national-chiropractic-exam-changes-centralized-testing-and-education-assessment-pilots","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6218714-851fad5d490de47eb7682679ec6612f7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135682&Signature=KXREET4Sr43eaXkb2ygyRkJtO8HyGxN2kPf9k3EAuHnL~INEN~UfGCUAtwxe93-pBOPc7JLXEzrIdmWgapWNv~NtyH3UwbkZd52lyi6PqP53YhBCwC6nME1ahhGMEoHVPt~kh9iUNQ~0-rt8B425sIw9IGo~dJRJYwweCrtazlameZiSCwh1DumKE7N1QNncKzqgR10Qge81RMkn1fKvmfp174z5dT8YYtVjLBxV768Gl0vQ8EZanDtOWgUbTPfX3vx2AqLqfqR71PXwxXkIrKzjbbezGntyHHXF0JnbGk~ssuXMJmHie-FY6eAIWDPLmwUdNdx38nCeaDmmZLCIew__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Board members received an extensive update on recent national and international developments in chiropractic education and licensure testing from a board presenter who attended the meetings.

The presenter reported that the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners is redesigning the Part IV practical exam and building a centralized testing center in Louisville, Colorado, with advanced audio-video capture, remote grading and standardized-patient training. \"They're going to centralize our practical exam…there's going to be 3 cameras in each room,\" the presenter said, describing a shift from examiner-in-room assessments to recorded performance and remote grading.

The board was told the centralized center will allow more frequent administrations — offered roughly 48 weeks a year rather than twice a year now — and that construction is expected to be complete by late 2025 with pilot testing in early 2026 and candidate testing beginning in March or April 2026. The presenter added the Part IV redesign will include seven case-based stations, a dedicated technique station, and a SOAP-note station to assess documentation.

The National Board has also expanded computer-based testing for Parts I–III (from three to nine administrations per year, with plans to expand further). The presenter described CIRA (Chiropractic Education Readiness Assessment), a research assessment for cognitive and noncognitive skills intended as support for enrolled students; roughly one-third of chiropractic colleges have committed to using it so far.

The Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards (FCLB) updates included new leadership elections and educational sessions on competency-based education and the regulatory implications of artificial intelligence in clinical decisionmaking. \"We're hearing speakers saying they use AI for clinical decision making — where's how do you regulate that?\" a board member asked; staff said legislative work on AI was active at the state capital.

The presenter also noted scholarship and student-support activity by national boards and a partnership with the World Federation of Chiropractic to create an international assessment for use in jurisdictions without chiropractic regulation.","Board member reported on the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners’ shift to a centralized, technology-enabled practical exam, expanded computer-based testing, an education readiness assessment (CIRA) pilot, and FCLB updates including discussion of AI and competency-based education.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6218718,"Board recommends reinstatement of chiropractor Edna Williams to Department of Public Health",142,94000,236000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3625721-41abece2b83b093b5d282e55954aec04&start=94&end=236","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3625721-41abece2b83b093b5d282e55954aec04/thumbnail_94000.jpg","/articles/6218718/Connecticut/Board-recommends-reinstatement-of-chiropractor-Edna-Williams-to-Department-of-Public-Health","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6218718-0d4364d6df8b978c678148cc6936c88e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135682&Signature=knxgZiytxFl3hG17kBjak4MPHlxTHRS6ZKDS8Vh7CqPVeAOoJtYcaaKScOkiZYtwVsky7CYMymgULKIf-7acE76dYkvP2e5n1~qbg3SSFtmMgDbK3XPXz94Mg1VSF~fucugyOE0KKVbchmewQ35sZeCwTFiOPyaZ-sYwgosLfh8XXopw1SVfrLRVvOTytt74~FSHucbTOik67wjooJXq9iG7QJE9utKOF0B1bhD3o6wAuSnaqJwPL8w~yUpuGDSvtSqtNqFhhc-ZRTiGJazHRJrFCLbzeDISgY4k24GPeOR9y5UgMKzvID0SeCj4ZshOQCFL9oVnW7Daw5kryO3Mqw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Connecticut Board of Chiropractic Examiners voted to recommend to the Department of Public Health that Dr. Edna Williams’ chiropractic license be reinstated.

Celeste Dalgo, practitioner licensing and investigation section, presented the reinstatement application and told the board that Dr. Williams has been out of active practice since 2020, correcting an earlier typographical error that had listed 2016. \"Today, I have doctor Williams filed for reinstatement of her Connecticut chiropractic application I mean, license, and there was a typo. She's been out of active practice since 2020, not 02/2016,\" Dalgo said.

The board discussed Dr. Williams’ continuing-education record and past clinical experience. Board members noted that in other cases they have recommended a special-purpose clinical exam to confirm competency, but the group agreed Dr. Williams had completed substantial continuing education. \"She's done a tremendous amount of continuing education hours,\" the board chair (unnamed) said during discussion.

Doctor Carnegie Hargreaves moved to recommend reinstatement to the Department of Public Health; Doctor Michelle Amasi seconded. With four board members present and no opposing votes, the chair said, \"All in favor? Any opposed? Hearing none, the motion carries.\" The recommendation will now be transmitted to the Department of Public Health for final action; the board's vote was a recommendation, not the final licensing decision.

The board convened with a quorum present at 9:18 a.m. and approved other routine business before the reinstatement discussion.","The Connecticut Board of Chiropractic Examiners voted to recommend to the Department of Public Health that Dr. Edna Williams’ chiropractic license be reinstated after review of her application and continuing education record; the board noted she left active practice in 2020, not 2016.","actionData","errors"]
