Which organization is primarily responsible for adopting rules related to chiropractic practice?

The Florida Medical Board
The Department of Health
The Board of Chiropractic Medicine
The Chiropractic Association of Florida

The correct answer is: The Board of Chiropractic Medicine

The Board of Chiropractic Medicine is the primary organization responsible for adopting rules related to chiropractic practice in Florida. This board operates under the Department of Health and has the authority to implement regulations that govern the profession, ensuring that practitioners adhere to standards of practice, ethics, and education. The board is composed of licensed chiropractors and consumer members who develop policies, conduct licensure examinations, and oversee the continuing education requirements necessary for chiropractic professionals. This helps to maintain the integrity of the profession and protects public health and safety. Other organizations, such as the Florida Medical Board, the Department of Health, and the Chiropractic Association of Florida, play important roles in the broader healthcare system or in providing advocacy and support for chiropractors, but they do not have the authority to adopt the specific rules and regulations governing chiropractic practice. The Board of Chiropractic Medicine is uniquely focused on chiropractic care and is thus the correct choice for this question.
