Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Since 1963 the Canadian Chiropractic Examining Board has conducted competency examinations for individuals seeking licensure to practice chiropractic in Canada. To maintain currency with changes in practice, examination content and methodology have been regularly updated since that time. This paper describes the process used by the Canadian Chiropractic Examining Board to restructure the examination to ensure it was current and to align it with the 2018 Federation of Canadian Chiropractic\'s Canadian Chiropractic Entry-to-Practice Competency Profile.
METHODS: A subject-matter-expert committee developed proposed candidate outcomes (indicators) for a new examination, derived from the competency profile. A national survey of practice was undertaken to determine the importance and frequency-of-use of the profile\'s enabling competencies. Survey results, together with other practice-based data and further subject-matter-expert input, were used to validate indicators and to create a new structure for the examination.
RESULTS: The new examination is a combination of single-focus and case-based multiple-choice questions, and OSCE (objective, structured, clinical examination) methodology. Content mapping and item weighting were determined by a blueprinting committee and are provided.
CONCLUSIONS: Administration of the new examination commenced in early 2024.

摘要：
目标：自1963年以来，加拿大脊椎指压检查委员会对寻求在加拿大从事脊椎指压治疗的执照的个人进行了能力检查。保持货币在实践中的变化，自那时以来，考试内容和方法一直在定期更新。本文介绍了加拿大脊椎按摩疗法检查委员会用于重组检查以确保其当前并使其与2018年加拿大脊椎按摩疗法联合会的加拿大脊椎按摩疗法入门能力简介保持一致的过程。
方法：主题专家委员会为新的考试制定了拟议的候选结果（指标），从能力简介中得出。进行了一项全国实践调查，以确定概况的启用能力的重要性和使用频率。调查结果,连同其他基于实践的数据和进一步的主题专家输入，用于验证指标并创建新的考试结构。
结果：新考试是单焦点和基于案例的多项选择题的组合，和OSCE(目标，结构化，临床检查)方法学。内容映射和项目权重由蓝图印刷委员会确定并提供。
结论：新检查的管理于2024年初开始。
