Should I Put My _____on a Patient?

Course overview

This presentation reviews professional boundaries in chiropractic practice, with emphasis on the doctor-patient relationship, sexual misconduct, and related ethical and legal obligations. Using statutes, board standards, and real disciplinary case examples, the course examines how boundary violations develop, how misconduct is evaluated, and the consequences that may follow. Special attention is given to chiropractic scenarios involving minors, including sideline care, away events, guardian consent, communication when parents are not present, and emergency decision-making. The course also highlights fraud risks and practical safeguards that help providers protect patients, maintain professionalism, and reduce legal and licensure exposure.
