  • Contrast each administrative rule with its enabling statute in Chapter 4734 to see where the rule adds detail

  • Build a flashcard set covering numeric thresholds (hours, fees, deadlines) in the administrative code

Your checkpoint

A one-page CE compliance checklist plus a 40-card flashcard deck of administrative-code numbers and deadlines, self-tested to 90 percent accuracy

Week 4

Ohio Administrative Code Chapter 4734 - State Chiropractic Board rules (licensing procedures, continuing education, recordkeeping, advertising, office standards) & Documentation, informed consent, and patient-record retention requirements

  • Draft the office-standards and recordkeeping requirements into a mock compliance audit checklist for a fictional practice

  • Explain the patient-record retention period and the content each record must contain under the administrative rules

  • Describe informed-consent documentation expectations and when written consent is required

  • Run the mock audit against three invented scenarios and note every deficiency you find

Your checkpoint

A completed mock compliance audit of three fictional practices with a written deficiency list and citations to the governing rule or statute

Week 5

Scope of practice and treatment boundaries, including referral and co-management obligations

  • Define the chiropractic scope boundary and list activities that fall outside it, with the statutory or rule basis for each

  • Explain referral and co-management obligations, including when a patient must be referred and how the referral is documented

  • Analyze five boundary scenarios (e.g., a patient with red-flag symptoms, a request for a non-chiropractic service) and state the correct action and rationale

  • Distinguish the chiropractor's role from that of other licensed providers in shared-care situations

Your checkpoint

A written boundary-and-referral decision guide covering five scenarios, each with the correct action, documentation step, and legal citation

Week 6

Disciplinary process, grounds for sanctions, hearing and appeal procedures

  • Outline the disciplinary process from complaint intake through investigation, hearing, and board order

  • List the statutory grounds for sanctions and match each to a plausible fact pattern

  • Explain fee-splitting and billing prohibitions and apply them to four billing scenarios

  • List mandatory public-health reporting duties and the reporting triggers, recipients, and timelines
