Ariz. Admin. Code § R4-7-1003 - Regulation and Termination of the Preceptorship Program

A. The Board, on its own initiative or upon receipt of a complaint, may investigate conduct of an extern or preceptor occurring within the program for compliance with this Chapter and A.R.S. § 32-924. The Board may, pursuant to A.R.S. § 32-929, obtain patient records as part of the investigation.

B. If after investigation, the Board determines that the conduct of the extern or preceptor imperatively requires emergency action, the Board shall suspend approval of the program pending proceedings for termination or other action. The Board shall promptly notify the extern, the preceptor, and the college of the suspension, the reasons for the suspension, and the conditions under which the suspension may be lifted, if any.

C. If after a hearing, the Board determines that the conduct of the preceptor or the extern constitutes a violation of this Chapter or A.R.S. § 32-924, the Board shall terminate the program and may sanction the preceptor or deny licensure to the extern if the extern has applied for a license.

D. If the Board receives written verification from a chiropractic college that the extern or preceptor is no longer concurrently participating in the associated chiropractic college program, the Board shall terminate approval of the extern's training program.

E. An extern may participate in a preceptorship program until the results of the next scheduled Part IV of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners examination are released or for six months immediately following the extern's date of graduation from chiropractic college, whichever occurs first.
