The ICRS Story
The first, informal meeting of those concerned with chiropractic regulatory issues was held in Montréal, Québec in 2009. Since then, the group has met annually to support those jurisdictions that have legislative authority to regulate chiropractors, and to assist those who wish to work toward adding the appropriate regulatory structure to protect the public. Anyone interested in the goals of the ICRS is welcome to attend the annual Forum. |
Mobility with Accountability
One of the primary goals of the ICRS is to ensure that qualified chiropractors with clean practice histories can move freely among the regulated jurisdictions, while those with disciplinary records are subject to full disclosure. Ongoing Projects Current efforts are devoted to developing reliable information about the state of chiropractic regulation in the world. The ICRS is focused on registration / licensure, discipline, practice requirements, accreditation, education, examination, discipline, continuing professional development, travel to teach, and travel for athletic or disaster care. |

Governance
|
The stated goal of the ICRS is to reach decisions by consensus of the Regulatory and Partner members, with final authority vested in the board. |
As set out in the ICRS Articles of Incorporation, the governing board is comprised of the Regulatory members. Partner members participate in a non-voting capacity in accordance with board policies.
Officers are the chair, vice chair, and secretary-treasurer, elected at the annual meeting of the ICRS. Member organizations designate their own voting delegates and other representatives. |
