The College of Chiropractors of British Columbia is the regulatory body established by the provincial government, (1934), for the registration and regulation for chiropractic doctors in BC. Every doctor of chiropractic practicing in BC must be a registered member of the College. The College of Chiropractors of BC is part of BC's Health Regulators.The College of Chiropractors of British Columbia or CCBC is the regulatory body that licenses chiropractors in our province and sets standards of practice to protect the public. In order to maintain a license to practice, all chiropractors must meet a strict set of guidelines including graduation from an accredited chiropractic college, criminal record check clearance and ongoing education requirements. In addition all registered chiropractors are required to abide by the Health Professions Act (HPA) that was created by the BC Government and the CCBC by-laws and professional conduct handbook. All regulated BC health professions must be licensed under a regulatory college. These criteria mean that patients can rest assured that chiropractors are trusted, primary caregivers. Patients also have recourse through the CCBC if they feel they were treated inappropriately under the care of a BC chiropractor. The CCBC investigates and disciplines chiropractors that do not abide by the by-laws or legislation and takes patient concerns very seriously.
