Are chiropractors allowed to work in medical facilities?

• A. Yes, within scope and in accordance with TBCE policies and supervision.
• B. No, they must operate only in private clinics.
• C. Only as interns.
• D. Only with a medical doctor supervising directly.

Answer: (A)

Chiropractors can work in medical facilities as long as they stay within their licensed scope of practice and follow TBCE policies, including any supervision requirements laid out by the facility or state rules. This means they can be part of hospital- or clinic-based teams to contribute to musculoskeletal care, collaborate with other healthcare professionals, and provide services permitted by their license. The key idea is that location does not restrict practice; what matters is that the care they provide is within what the law and TBCE allow and that appropriate supervision and facility policies are followed. They must avoid performing any procedures or duties outside their scope or that require different professional authority.
