The Connecticut Board of Chiropractic Examiners voted to recommend to the Department of Public Health that Dr. Edna Williams’ chiropractic license be reinstated after review of her application and continuing education record; the board noted she left active practice in 2020, not 2016.
The Connecticut Board of Chiropractic Examiners voted to recommend to the Department of Public Health that Dr. Edna Williams’ chiropractic license be reinstated.
Celeste Dalgo, practitioner licensing and investigation section, presented the reinstatement application and told the board that Dr. Williams has been out of active practice since 2020, correcting an earlier typographical error that had listed 2016. "Today, I have doctor Williams filed for reinstatement of her Connecticut chiropractic application I mean, license, and there was a typo. She's been out of active practice since 2020, not 02/2016," Dalgo said.
The board discussed Dr. Williams’ continuing-education record and past clinical experience. Board members noted that in other cases they have recommended a special-purpose clinical exam to confirm competency, but the group agreed Dr. Williams had completed substantial continuing education. "She's done a tremendous amount of continuing education hours," the board chair (unnamed) said during discussion.
Doctor Carnegie Hargreaves moved to recommend reinstatement to the Department of Public Health; Doctor Michelle Amasi seconded. With four board members present and no opposing votes, the chair said, "All in favor? Any opposed? Hearing none, the motion carries." The recommendation will now be transmitted to the Department of Public Health for final action; the board's vote was a recommendation, not the final licensing decision.
The board convened with a quorum present at 9:18 a.m. and approved other routine business before the reinstatement discussion.
