2023 Forum:  19 / 20 MAY 

we want to hear from you

PROCEEDINGS ABSTRACT: The 19 / 20 May 2023 ICRS Forum focused on temporary practice by chiropractors in a jurisdiction other than where licensed / registered for the purposes of treating athletes, teaching seminars, providing care during disasters, mission trips, research, and telemedicine. Requirements for temporary practice vary greatly among the regulated jurisdictions throughout the world.

Does the board have authority over the practice of chiropractic by anyone within its borders? Does it retain jurisdiction over its own licensees / registrants who travel outside the state or country? 

FICS, Fédération Internationale de Chiropratique du Sport (International Federation of Sports Chiropractic), has over 30 years of experience with the sports application of temporary practice. Solutions to ensuring regulatory compliance and liability coverage have included developing a certificate of uniform training and promoting the adoption of temporary legislation. 

​An online reference with current requirements would provide both practitioners and regulatory boards valuable information to comply with laws and to adopt or streamline regulatory systems. Data should focus on the best interests of the patients.  ​
