What are the requirements to achieve DACBSP and CCSP certifications?
The DACBSP (Diplomate American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians) certification requires the doctor to first achieve CCSP (Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician) certification. The CCSP requires the doctor to attend a minimum of 100 hours of a 120 hour postgraduate CCSP program. The hours mentioned are class hours. Following the completion of these hours, the doctor must take and successfully pass a comprehensive written examination to receive the CCSP certification.
Once CCSP status has been achieved, the doctor may work toward DACBSP certification. To do so, the doctor must attend an additional minimum of 200 class hours. Doctors wishing to achieve DACBSP status then have four basic components they must successfully complete within 3 years of completion of the DACBSP Program. Approximately 1/2 of 1 percent of Doctors have gone on to obtain this prestigious designation.
The four components are:
- DACBSP Written Examination
- DACBSP Practical Examination
- DACBSP Practical Experience Requirement
- DACBSP Written Requirement Project
