About the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE)
The National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) serves as the global testing authority for the chiropractic profession. The NBCE is responsible for developing, administering, and scoring standardized examinations that evaluate candidates’ knowledge, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills across a range of basic and clinical science disciplines.
NBCE exams ensure that all licensed chiropractors—regardless of where they studied or were licensed—meet consistent standards in diagnosis, imaging, chiropractic principles, clinical sciences, and practice.
