Other health care providers that are regulated include nurses, dentists, medical doctors and optometrists.

In Alberta, the Health Professions Act ensures all regulated health care providers:

• are educated and trained properly
• practice within a defined scope of practice
• adhere to strict standards of practice
• hold liability protection/coverage
• meet competency standards
• are accountable to a regulatory organization

The Chiropractic Association of Alberta (CAA) is entrusted with enforcing the requirements set by government for all chiropractors. To be a chiropractor in Alberta, you must be a member, in good standing, with the ACAC.
