  If the board has reasonable cause to believe a licensee is unable to practice with reasonable skill and safety, it may require the licensee to take a mental or physical examination given by a physician or other qualified provider designated by the board. If the licensee refuses to undergo the examination or to release all medical records necessary to determine the licensee's ability to practice safely, unless the refusal or failure is due to circumstances beyond the licensee's control, the board may suspend the licensee's license until the results of the examination are known and the board has made a determination of the licensee's fitness to practice. The board shall proceed with an order for examination and make its determination in a timely manner.    An order for examination issued by the board pursuant to subsection (1) of this section shall include the board's reasons for believing the licensee is unable to practice with reasonable skill and safety.    For purposes of any disciplinary proceeding authorized under this article 215, a licensee shall be deemed to have waived all objections to the admissibility of an examining physician's testimony and examination reports on the basis of privilege.    A licensee may submit to the board testimony and examination reports received from a physician chosen by the licensee, if the testimony and reports pertain to a condition that the board has alleged may preclude the licensee from practicing with reasonable skill and safety.    The results of a mental or physical examination ordered by the board shall not be used as evidence in any proceeding other than one held before the board and shall not be a public record nor made available to the public.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 12 - Professions and Occupations|Article 215 - Chiropractors|Part 2 - Safety Training for Unlicensed X-Ray Technicians|§ 12-215-201. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares that public exposure to the hazards of ionizing radiation used for diagnostic purposes should be minimized wherever possible. Accordingly, the general assembly finds, determines, and declares that for any licensed chiropractor to allow an untrained person to operate a machine source of ionizing radiation, including without limitation a device commonly known as an “X-ray machine”, or to administer radiation to a patient for diagnostic purposes is a threat to the public health and safety.    It is the intent of the general assembly that licensed chiropractors utilizing unlicensed persons in their practices provide those persons with a minimum level of education and training before allowing them to operate machine sources of ionizing radiation; however, it is not the general assembly's intent to discourage education and training beyond this minimum. It is further the intent of the general assembly that established minimum training and education requirements correspond as closely as possible to the requirements of each particular work setting as determined by the board pursuant to this part 2.    The general assembly seeks to ensure, and accordingly declares its intent, that in promulgating the rules authorized by this part 2, the board will make every effort, consistent with its other statutory duties, to avoid creating a shortage of qualified individuals to operate machine sources of ionizing radiation for beneficial medical purposes in any area of the state.
