Which entity is NOT predetermined to meet board approval as a CE provider?

The correct answer highlights that the American Dental Association is not predetermined to meet board approval as a Continuing Education (CE) provider specifically for chiropractic practice. In the context of chiropractic licensing in Arizona, the Board has established guidelines identifying specific entities whose programs automatically receive approval for continuing education credits.

While the American Chiropractic Association is directly aligned with the chiropractic profession and thus is recognized by the Board for its CE offerings, training programs like those from the American Heart Association, which provide CPR training, are generally accepted due to their relevance in emergency care, which is important for all healthcare providers, including chiropractors.

NBCE examinations refer to the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, which is crucial for chiropractic licensure as they provide standardized examinations that must be passed. These examinations are inherently linked to the requirements for licensure and would therefore be recognized by the Board.

In summary, the American Dental Association primarily serves the dental field, and while they may offer educational programs, these are not tailored to the chiropractic profession, thereby not guaranteeing automatic approval by the Board. This distinction underscores the necessity for CE providers to be aligned with the specific practice of chiropractic to be recognized by the regulatory Board.
