What must the Chiropractor of Record notify the Board of when they are notified of a disciplinary action?

The correct response emphasizes the requirement for the Chiropractor of Record to inform the Board of any disciplinary action that may significantly affect their ability to practice or the integrity of their practice. This obligation ensures that the Board is aware of any conduct that may lead to sanctions or reflects on the professionalism of the chiropractor, including actions taken against their employees that may affect the operation or reputation of the practice.

Disciplinary actions can include violations of laws or ethical standards that occur in the chiropractic practice environment. Therefore, if a chiropractor faces situations with employees that may lead to disciplinary measures, this transparency is critical for maintaining the standards expected in chiropractic care and protecting the public.

In contrast, changes in ownership structure, lawsuits against the practice, or staff turnover rates, while potentially significant, do not directly relate to the operative standards of practice, nor do they necessarily invoke the need for immediate notification to the Board unless they directly affect the chiropractor's license or the conduct related to their practice. This distinction clarifies the scope of accountability that the Chiropractor of Record maintains regarding oversight and professionalism.
