Week 1

Idaho Chiropractic Practice Act and Administrative Rules

  • Map the Idaho Chiropractic Practice Act section by section, writing a one-line summary of each statutory article covering licensure, scope, and board authority.

  • Define the Board of Chiropractic Physicians' composition, appointment, and rulemaking powers in your own words without looking at notes.

  • Build a glossary of 30 statutory terms (e.g., 'chiropractic physician', 'adjustment', 'board') with the exact statutory citation for each.

  • Draft a table listing every statutory ground for discipline and mark which ones overlap with the administrative rules.

Your checkpoint

A 4-6 page annotated outline of the Practice Act with statutory citations for every heading.

Week 2

Idaho Chiropractic Practice Act and Administrative Rules

  • Compare each administrative rule chapter to its enabling statute and flag rules that add requirements not visible in the Act.

  • Summarize the rules on license application, examination, and endorsement pathways in a step-by-step flowchart.

  • Identify the rules governing advertising, unprofessional conduct, and practice naming, and paraphrase each prohibition.

  • Self-test with 40 recall questions on Act and rule citations, logging every miss with the correct citation.

Your checkpoint

A one-page flowchart of licensure pathways plus a scored 40-question self-quiz with an error log.

Week 3

Scope of Practice and Standards of Care

  • Delineate the statutory scope of chiropractic practice, listing permitted acts and explicit exclusions with citations.

  • Explain the standard of care concept as applied to chiropractic diagnosis, treatment planning, and referral obligations.

  • Outline when referral or co-management with other providers is required and cite the supporting rule or statute.

  • Analyze three hypothetical scope questions (e.g., ordering imaging, prescribing, performing a technique) and justify each answer with authority.

Your checkpoint

A scope-of-practice decision tree plus three written hypothetical analyses, each citing at least two authorities.

Week 4

Scope of Practice and Standards of Care & Professional Conduct, Ethics, and Disciplinary Process

  • Distinguish boundary violations, fee-splitting, and improper patient relationships, and state the rule violated in each scenario.

  • Summarize the disciplinary complaint, investigation, hearing, and appeal sequence with the governing citation at each stage.

  • Compare sanctions available to the Board (reprimand, probation, suspension, revocation, fines) and the criteria for selecting them.

  • Write short answers to five ethics scenarios, applying the correct rule and predicting a defensible sanction.

Your checkpoint

A disciplinary-process timeline poster plus five graded ethics scenarios scored against a citation-based rubric.

Week 5

Documentation, Billing, and Recordkeeping Requirements

  • List the required elements of a patient record (history, exam findings, diagnosis, treatment plan, informed consent, progress notes) with the rule that mandates each.

  • Explain record retention, custody, and patient-access obligations, including what happens when a practice closes.

  • Differentiate documentation sufficient for billing from documentation sufficient for defensibility, using one sample note rewritten to standard.

  • Identify common coding and billing compliance pitfalls (upcoding, unbundling, medical necessity) and the rule or statute implicated.

Your checkpoint

A documentation checklist cross-referenced to rules, plus one before/after rewritten progress note.

Week 6

Informed Consent and Patient Rights

  • Define the elements of valid informed consent and identify which procedures require written consent under Idaho law.

  • Explain patient rights regarding access to records, refusal of treatment, privacy, and termination of the provider relationship.

  • Draft a plain-language informed consent script covering risks, benefits, alternatives, and the right to withdraw consent.

  • Analyze two scenarios where consent was arguably deficient and state the legal and ethical consequences.

Your checkpoint

A one-page informed consent script plus two written deficiency analyses.

Week 7

Licensure, Renewal, and Continuing Education Requirements

  • Map the renewal cycle, deadlines, fees, and late-renewal consequences into a calendar.

  • Summarize continuing education hour requirements, acceptable categories, documentation, and audit risk.

  • List grounds for license lapse, reinstatement steps, and the effect of practicing on a lapsed license.

  • Create 25 flashcards on renewal and CE numbers and drill them to 90% recall.

Your checkpoint

A renewal and CE compliance calendar plus a flashcard deck scored at 90% or better.

Week 8

Idaho Chiropractic Practice Act and Administrative Rules & Scope of Practice and Standards of Care & Documentation, Billing, and Recordkeeping Requirements & Informed Consent and Patient Rights & Professional Conduct, Ethics, and Disciplinary Process & Licensure, Renewal, and Continuing Education Requirements

  • Take two full-length timed practice exams weighted to the domain percentages and record scores by domain.

  • Re-study the two weakest domains using the error logs from weeks 1-7.

  • Recite from memory the citation for each of the 20 most-tested rules and statutes.

  • Write a one-page personal exam-day strategy covering pacing, flagging, and guessing rules.

Your checkpoint

Two scored practice exams with a domain-by-domain improvement report and a final one-page strategy sheet.

Milestones

Week 2: Score at least 80% on the 40-question Act-and-rules self-quiz and cite the correct authority for every missed item.

Week 4: Explain the full disciplinary process from complaint to appeal without notes, naming the governing citation at each of the four stages.

Week 6: Produce a documentation checklist and a consent script that each cite at least six specific rules or statutes.

Week 8: Score 75% or higher on both timed practice exams and show improvement in the two previously weakest domains.
