Looking Around the Bend...

The Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards fulfills its mission to serve its member board and protect the public with numerous ongoing projects. The FCLB Board continues to review strategies and outcomes of projects—here is a look at some of the goals that lie ahead:


... to protect the public and to serve our member boards by promoting excellence in chiropractic regulation
- FCLB Mission Statement
  • To continue to develop the CIN-BAD databases as helpful for our member boards, with an eye toward supporting the credentialing needs of the managed care community. The FCLB will notseek CVO status with the addition of the ALLDOCS data, but rather hopes to continue to expand the number and quality of the databases that qualify for NCQA and URAC recognition as primary verification source level data;

  • To support the efforts of our FCLB standing and special committees (members are listed on our website) to the following ends:

    • Reducing regulatory barriers to licensure for qualified practitioners who wish to relocate or pursue temporary or electronic practice options;

    • Making more efficient the process of seeking approval for licensure renewal credit for continuing education;

    • Streamlining the process for original licensure;

    • Educating board members and staff about appropriate regulatory standards, ethics, and processes;

    • Expanding and standardizing the range of disciplinary options available to regulatory boards;

    • Continuing to uphold the rights of the consumer to receive the best possible chiropractic care;

    • Educating the public and managed care about chiropractic credentials, with special emphasis on the role of the regulatory boards;

    • Assisting our member boards in networking and sharing information and concerns through a variety of outreach tools, including Internet, newsletters, PowerPolls, and direct support;

    • Serving as a full partner in the interprofessional regulatory community.
