Any advertisement which states that a chiropractic physician has special training or skills as being certified in a post-doctorate specialty not recognized by the respective specialty council , specialty board, or institution is engaged in deceptive and misleading advertising practices;

(b) Any chiropractic physician who advertises a specialty not recognized by the Board shall prominently include in the advertisement the following disclaimer in capital letters: "(NAME OF ANNOUNCED AREA OF CHIROPRACTIC PRACTICE...IS NOT RECOGNIZED AS A SPECIALTY AREA BY THE OKLAHOMA BOARD OF CHIROPRACTIC EXAMINERS"

(c) Any chiropractic physician who advertises membership in or certification by any institution or entity not recognized by the Board, shall prominently include in the advertisement the following disclaimer in capital letters: "(NAME OF REFERENCED ORGANIZATION)...IS NOT RECOGNIZED AS A BONA FIDE SPECIALTY ACCREDITING ORGANIZATION BY THE OKLAHOMA BOARD OF CHIROPRACTIC EXAMINERS"

(d) A chiropractic physician may advertise limited certificates of attendance otherwise known as limited certificates of proficiency or limited attendance announcements at the Board discretion without registering them with the Board. The Board recognizes limited certificates of this nature granted by product and equipment supplies in conjunction with healthcare educators whose products and equipment are used to carry out the delivery of healthcare without granting the chiropractic physician a certification of diplomate specialty. Certificates of this limited nature are not required to be registered with the Board. A chiropractic physician shall not advertise such certificates in a manner misrepresenting or implying in any way that this type of certificate prepared the chiropractic physician to hold himself or herself out as being certified in or obtaining a diplomate specialty.
