INFORMATION OF THE WRITTEN EXAM

To be a diplomate in any specialty has built-in expectations and responsibilities. A diplomate represents the highest level of knowledge and experience in a specialty. A diplomate is expected to maintain current knowledge and represent their specialty whenever and wherever they lecture, study, or appear. Their practice and behavior affect the standards of their specialty.

To obtain diplomate status is not easy. Specific requirements have been established to assure all professions that a diplomate of the I.C.A.K. has been well trained and examined. This information is to help you prepare for the examination.

Requirements:

1. A chiropractic, medical, osteopathic, dental or other health care license or registration, fulfilling the requirements for full (voting) membership of his/her chapter of ICAK, with a minimum of 4000 undergraduate professional educational hours or equivalent.

2. At least one year’s membership in good standing of ICAK

Alternatively, payment may be made by Mastercard or Visa. The IBE will add a 5% credit card service fee for this type of payment, however, it is still often the most convenient method.
