Emeritus License Status

A Doctor of Chiropractic Emeritus license status is intended for those persons who have practiced for many years in good standing, and have retired their license in all jurisdictions.  There is no fee required and there is no requirement for continuing education.  However, making this choice must be considered carefully, since, if the Doctor of Chiropractic changes their mind, there may be significant cost and continuing education requirements for reinstatement.  A few examples include:

• All interim renewal fees and all interim CE are required
• Or, if the licensee is retired for more than five years and not practicing elsewhere, the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners Part IV Practical Examination is required in place of the interim CE
• If the license is retired for more than one year, a fingerprint based Criminal Background Check (CBC) is required

A review of the Minn. R. 2500.2115 through 2500.2135 as well as the reinstatement provisions in Minn. R. 2500.2110 is essential to considering this choice.  See also the CBC tab for more information.

Typically, for those persons who have been licensed for at least 15 years, in good standing, an Emeritus application is automatically sent out when applications are received for Voluntary Retired Status. Those who qualify may also download and submit the Emeritus Status application form.  If you have any questions about Emeritus Status please call the Licensing Coordinator at 651-201-2848.
