What is a core requirement for applicants taking the LPPE?

Possession of a Chiropractic Doctor degree from a recognized institution is a core requirement for applicants taking the LPPE. This degree ensures that the applicant has undergone the necessary educational training and has acquired the foundational knowledge essential for practicing chiropractic care. A recognized institution means that the program is accredited and meets the standards set forth by relevant regulatory bodies, which is vital for maintaining professionalism and competency within the field.

While completion of a residency program, certification in multiple chiropractic techniques, and experience working under a licensed chiropractor can be beneficial and enhance an applicant's qualifications, they are not foundational requirements for eligibility to take the LPPE. The primary focus is on the formal degree that establishes the necessary academic and practical knowledge in chiropractic principles.
