ExploreAbout this exam
The Delaware Board of Chiropractic, housed within the Division of Professional Regulation of the Department of State, regulates chiropractic practice in the state. Its stated purpose is to protect the public from unsafe chiropractic practice and from practices that tend to reduce competition or fix prices for services, while maintaining standards of professional competence and service delivery. To meet those objectives the Board develops standards for professional competency, promulgates rules and regulations, adjudicates complaints against professionals and imposes disciplinary sanctions where necessary. The Board issues licenses to chiropractic practitioners and approves preceptors. Its statutory authority sits in 24 Del. C., Chapter 7. A jurisprudence-focused preparation pass should map to that chapter and the Board's rules and regulations, alongside the Board's published materials on licensure, telehealth registration, renewal, continuing education and audit, the fee schedule, forms, and the mandatory duty to report. Candidates should also know how the Board itself operates: unless notified otherwise it meets the first Thursday of every other month at 8:30 a.m., meetings are open to the public and held in the Cannon Building, 861 Silver Lake Boulevard, in Dover, and the Board reviews only complete applications, at its next scheduled meeting.

What you'll study
About DE Chiropractic Jurisprudence preparation
What credential does this exam support?
It supports the Delaware chiropractic license issued by the Board of Chiropractic within the Division of Professional Regulation. The Board issues licenses to chiropractic practitioners and approves preceptors, and its statutory authority is 24 Del. C., Chapter 7. Confirm current application steps through the Board's licensure pages and DELPROS before you file.
What does the jurisprudence content cover?
Expect four areas: the statutory and regulatory framework under 24 Del. C., Chapter 7; Board standards of professional competence and service delivery; complaints, disciplinary sanctions, and the mandatory duty to report; and licensure, preceptor approval, renewal, continuing education, and audit. The Board's site publishes separate pages for each of these topics.
How is the actual Board examination formatted?
The Board's published pages do not state an item count, time limit, passing score, fee, or format for a jurisprudence examination. Treat any specific figure you hear from a third party as unverified and check directly with the Board or the Division before relying on it for scheduling or budgeting.
How do I prepare efficiently?
Start with the Board's Objective and Function statement, then read the License Law and the Rules & Regulations linked from the Board page. Work through the licensure, renewal, continuing education and audit, fee schedule, forms, and mandatory duty to report pages. Finish with telehealth registration under 24 Del. C. Ch. 60, since that is a distinct registration path.
Where and when does the Board meet, and does that matter for me?
Unless notified otherwise, the Board meets the first Thursday of every other month at 8:30 a.m., in the Cannon Building, 861 Silver Lake Boulevard, in Dover, and meetings are open to the public. It matters because the Board reviews licensure applications only when complete, at its next scheduled meeting, so incomplete packets wait a full cycle.
What is the most common application mistake?
Submitting an incomplete packet. The Board states it can only review a complete application, which includes your application and documentation submitted through DELPROS plus any documents sent by mail or email from third parties. Missing third-party documents stall review until the next scheduled meeting, so confirm every item has arrived before expecting a decision.
How do I reach the Board office?
Phone (302) 744-4500, fax (302) 739-2711, email [email protected]. Mailing address: Cannon Building, Suite 203, 861 Silver Lake Blvd., Dover, DE 19904. The Division notes that if you cannot reach them by phone, you should submit your inquiry by email.
Can out-of-state chiropractors use telehealth registration?
Possibly. Under 24 Del. C. Ch. 60, health-care providers licensed by the professional licensing boards listed in § 6002 may apply for an interstate telehealth registration if the requirements in § 6002(c) are met. The Division directs applicants to the Telehealth Registration page on their profession's webpage for instructions.
Where do I renew and find disciplinary information?
Renewal runs through DELPROS, and the Division publishes a DELPROS Renewal Guide and instructional videos. Disciplinary Action Information and Filing a Complaint pages are also linked from the Division site. Read those before assuming how complaints are filed, investigated, or sanctioned, since the Board adjudicates complaints and may impose disciplinary sanctions.
