Palmer College of Chiropractic’s Department
of Undergraduate Studies has announced
that the Associate of Science in
Chiropractic Technology (A.S.C.T.)
degree program has been recognized as
meeting new Iowa physiotherapy legislative
requirements. Per the Iowa
Board of Chiropractic state requirement
645-43.12(2), effective July 1, 2009,
chiropractors are required to keep on
file proof of staff completion of requirements
in training of active and passive
physiotherapy.
Per this new regulation, Palmer College
alumni of the A.S.C.T. program and
Chiropractic Clinical Assistant (CCA)
certificate holders have differing levels
of competency depending on when they
attended Palmer. Under the new requirements,
chiropractic technologists who
attended Palmer may meet the full
requirements for passive and active
instruction, and passive and active
clinical experience.
To find out which requirements you
or your staff person meet and to
