Chiropractic Students Under Siege: NBCE's Part IV Con Game

The National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) has recently announced its decision to centralize the Part IV exam in Greeley, Colorado, a move they claim is a strategic advancement for the chiropractic profession. However, a deeper examination of the arguments presented reveals a series of 25 logical fallacies and errors in critical thinking that undermine the validity of their claims. By manipulating the profession into accepting centralized testing, the NBCE not only overlooks the actual needs of students and educational institutions but also disregards viable alternatives that could ensure competency without excessive central control. This discussion aims to dissect these logical fallacies, shed light on the lack of evidence for the NBCE's claims, and reveal how this manipulation serves to maintain and expand their monopoly over chiropractic licensure.
