This bill establishes a framework for preceptorships for students in the final year or final two semesters of chiropractic medicine programs in New Jersey. It defines a preceptorship as a clinical program where students practice under the direct supervision of a State-licensed chiropractor, who must be approved by the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners. The bill mandates that the board set requirements for these preceptorships and that students must apply for a limited license to participate, which includes demonstrating good academic standing and paying a non-refundable fee. The educational institution must also be board-approved.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the limited license for preceptorships will not be renewable upon expiration and allows the board to apply existing provisions of chiropractic law to students in preceptorships as deemed appropriate. This initiative aims to encourage chiropractic graduates to remain in New Jersey and practice as licensed chiropractors, thereby addressing potential workforce needs in the state.
