National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) – Our New Assessment Center: Coming March 2026

Join the NBCE team as we open our new state of the art Assessment Center to administer pre-licensure examinations for chiropractic students! Our Part IV exam is a practical, clinical assessment designed to test the student's (i.e., examinee's) hands-on skills. We are now hiring Standardized Patients who will learn and act out case scenarios, depicting specific health conditions, during these assessments.

Role Summary:

The Standardized Patient (SP) is trained to portray health conditions realistically, accurately, and consistently during a performance-based assessment. The SP recreates the case history, personality and physical and emotional responses of an actual patient with a particular health condition. This role requires a high level of professionalism, reliability, and discretion in a high-stake testing environment.

Essential Job Functions:

• Realistically, accurately, and consistently portray a patient case scenario including history, emotional state, physical symptoms and behavior according to the provided scripts.
• SPs are expected to learn and demonstrate physical maneuvers to simulate the assigned conditions.
• Provide computer-scored and written feedback to examinees according to the guidelines provided by NBCE.
• Interactions between SPs and examinees are video recorded and utilized by Chiropractic Examiners, which are licensed Doctor of Chiropractic, for scoring performance assessments.
• SPs must be comfortable wearing examination gowns over standard undergarments (e.g. sports bra or full-coverage underwear) while working with examinees, and will allow students to perform non-invasive physical exam maneuvers on their bodies (e.g. listening to the heart and lungs on skin with a stethoscope, pressing on the abdomen with finger pads on skin, performing multiple orthopedic-neurological maneuvers using legs, arms, hands, etc.)
• SPs are required to attend ongoing and regularly scheduled training sessions.
• Follow NBCE guidelines on confidentiality, professional behavior, and safety protocols. SPs must maintain confidentiality of all case materials, descriptions of patient scenarios, and interaction with examinees and other SPs.
