Specialty Programs

FCLB's Recognized Chiropractic Specialties Program (RCSP) is designed to serve chiropractic licensing boards in assessing the rigor and standards of quality of chiropractic specialty programs.  

A specialty program provider (a college, or vendor, or some other educational entity) completes an online application. Through a lengthy but thorough application process, the specialty program provider submits samples of their education materials, instructors' curriculum vitae, program syllabus or syllabi, course objectives, supplemental materials and subject matter relevance. In addition, the Specialty Program provider is asked to demonstrate their ability to financially, legally and administratively support the program seeking approval.

Once received, that application is reviewed by members of our RCSP Committee, composed of current and retired regulators appointed by the FCLB Board of Directors.

The committee members are responsible to review the submitted application and materials, ask questions, and make requests for changes they may require prior to RCSP recognition.

After the committee is satisfied with an application, a recommendation is submitted to the FCLB board. The board votes on whether or not to grant RCSP recognition.

Once a specialty program Provider earns RCSP recognition, the RCSP committee may conduct random audits on recognized providers. RCSP also will request program evaluations and watch those for any red flags and may conduct future audits.
