Establishes option for students nearing completion of program in chiropractic medicine to participate in preceptorship provided by State-licensed chiropractor.
S 2041 (now withdrawn as P.L.2025, c.239) establishes a limited license for New Jersey chiropractic medicine students in their final year or two semesters to participate in supervised clinical training ("preceptorship") under a State-licensed chiropractor. Students must apply for the license, pass a background check, pay a fee, and demonstrate good academic standing. The State Board of Chiropractic Examiners must set rules for preceptor qualifications, direct supervision (on-site guidance), and the scope of practice for these students, with the license expiring upon graduation. This bill aimed to create a pathway for final-year students to gain clinical experience under supervision before full licensure.
