Build a table of every defined term in the statute and rules (e.g., chiropractic, adjustment, board, licensee) with the exact citation for each definition
Identify which provisions are statutory versus administrative rule, and note where the rule expands on or implements a statute
Create a citation flashcard deck covering the statute and rule numbering conventions so you can locate any provision in under 30 seconds
Your checkpoint
A citation map document listing every statute and rule section relevant to practice, each with a one-sentence summary and a statute-vs-rule tag
New Hampshire statutes and administrative rules governing chiropractic practice
Read the administrative rules governing chiropractic practice in full and annotate each rule with the statute section it implements
List every reporting, recordkeeping, and notification obligation imposed on licensees, with deadlines and the responsible party
Draft answers to five hypothetical fact patterns that require locating the controlling statute or rule section
Compare the statute and rules for any conflict or ambiguity and write a short note on how you would resolve each
Your checkpoint
A one-page obligation checklist of all recordkeeping and reporting duties with deadlines and citations
Scope of practice and permitted modalities
Define the outer boundary of chiropractic scope of practice using the statutory definition and list what is expressly included
Enumerate permitted modalities and techniques named in the statute or rules and note any that require additional training or certification
Identify expressly prohibited or restricted activities and the citation for each restriction
Write a decision framework for a borderline clinical scenario that walks from patient presentation to a scope determination with citations
Your checkpoint
A scope-of-practice boundary chart: included, conditionally permitted, and prohibited, each entry with a citation
Scope of practice and permitted modalities & New Hampshire statutes and administrative rules governing chiropractic practice
Apply the scope chart to ten written clinical vignettes and decide permitted or not permitted with a citation for each decision
Distinguish scope questions from standard-of-care questions and explain why the distinction matters in a disciplinary hearing
Review referral and collaboration duties, including when a licensee must refer a patient to another provider
Re-check your citation map for any scope-related provisions you missed in weeks 1 and 2 and correct it
Your checkpoint
A scored set of ten vignette answers with citations, self-graded against the source text, targeting at least 8 of 10 correct
Licensure, renewal, and continuing education requirements
Outline the full licensure pathway from application through initial licensure, listing every required document, examination, and fee
Summarize renewal cycle, renewal deadlines, late fees, and lapsed-license consequences with citations
Build a continuing education compliance tracker template that records hours by category and flags shortfalls before the deadline
List the specific CE content requirements and any caps or category limits stated in the rules
Your checkpoint
A completed licensure and renewal timeline plus a working CE tracker template with categories, caps, and deadlines
Licensure, renewal, and continuing education requirements & Professional conduct, ethics, and disciplinary process

Review patient record retention, release, and confidentiality duties and note the exceptions
Practice writing concise, citation-backed responses to ethics prompts under a 10-minute time limit
Your checkpoint
An eight-scenario ethics bank with model answers, each answer citing at least one statute or rule section
New Hampshire statutes and administrative rules governing chiropractic practice & Scope of practice and permitted modalities & Licensure, renewal, and continuing education requirements & Professional conduct, ethics, and disciplinary process
Take a full-length self-made practice exam of at least 80 questions drawn from all four domains and score it by domain
Re-study only the two weakest domains using your citation map, scope chart, and ethics bank
Recite from memory the citation for the ten provisions you are most likely to be tested on
Write a one-page exam-day strategy covering time allocation, flagging, and how to handle questions with unfamiliar fact patterns
Your checkpoint
A scored practice exam report with per-domain percentages and a written remediation list for any domain below 75 percent
Milestones
Week 2: You can locate any statute or rule provision relevant to practice in under 30 seconds and state its plain-language meaning without notes
Week 4: You score at least 8 of 10 on scope-of-practice vignettes with a correct citation for every answer
Week 6: You can narrate the disciplinary process end to end, naming each stage and the rights attached to it, and your CE tracker is populated with real deadlines
Week 8: Your full-length practice exam shows at least 75 percent in every domain, or you have a written remediation list naming exactly which provisions to re-review
