This podcast examines the urgent concerns surrounding the proposed April 30, 2026 NBCE–FCLB merger and its potential impact on chiropractic education, licensing, accreditation, federal student loans, and professional independence. Using the Chiropractic Freedom Coalition’s Institutional Risk Advisory as its foundation, the discussion explains how NBCE, FCLB, and CCE function as an interconnected system controlling exams, accreditation metrics, state board influence, continuing education, and disciplinary assessments. The episode highlights risks involving Title IV funding, False Claims Act exposure, regulatory capture, CCE Policy 56, and ideological control over chiropractic’s future. It frames the merger as a defining moment for the profession.
