This bill establishes a framework for students in the final year or final two semesters of a chiropractic medicine program to participate in a preceptorship under the direct supervision of a State-licensed chiropractor. The State Board of Chiropractic Examiners is tasked with setting the requirements for these preceptorships and approving the chiropractors who can serve as preceptors. The bill defines key terms such as "preceptorship," "preceptor," and "student," and mandates that the chiropractic school the student attends must also be approved by the board.

To participate in a preceptorship, students must apply for a limited license, which requires an attestation of good academic standing and payment of a non-refundable fee. Importantly, this limited license cannot be renewed upon expiration. The bill also stipulates that existing provisions of current law regarding chiropractors may apply to students in a preceptorship as deemed appropriate by the board. Overall, the bill aims to facilitate the transition of chiropractic students into licensed practitioners in New Jersey, thereby supporting the retention of graduates within the state.
