delegate to chiropractic technicians or certain other health care professionals the
performance of services that are preparatory or complementary to the practice of
chiropractic, including taking and preparing preliminary patient histories or
providing physiotherapy treatment. This bill allows licensed chiropractors to
delegate the performance of these services to individuals who have completed a
training program for medical assistants accredited by the National Commission for
Certifying Agencies, a national or state medical association, or another entity
approved by the Chiropractic Examining Board.
