5). The passage
of 2007
Wisconsin Act 104 amends ch. 446, Stats., regulation of chiropractic
practice. The effect of the Act requires the Chiropractic Examining
Board to amend administrative rules for initial licensure, licensure
by endorsement, renewal of licensure and continuing education.
Therefore,
as of September 1, 2008:
Initial applicants
for licensure as well as endorsement applicants (must hold a valid
chiropractic license from another state to qualify) are required to
be proficient in the use of automated external defibrillators (AED's)
as one of the qualifications for licensure.
To qualify,
applicants must complete a CPR/AED certification program approved
by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) Please note that
qualifying AED training is offered only as a component of DHS approved
CPR certification programs.
Renewal of your
chiropractic license requires current CPR/AED training and proficiency
through the completion of a certification program approved by the
DHS.
AED certification
training counts towards the required 40 hours of continuing education
required for renewal of licensure. Hours counted towards your continuing
education requirement must be through a certification program approved
by the DHS.
