College of Chiropractic Intern’s Clinic Handbook 2021-2022

3.2.6 Non-compete Situations

Interns may experience their faculty clinician creating a non-compete clause and asking them to sign it. It is considered appropriate for T10 Preceptorship doctors to request interns to sign a non-compete clause for Clinical Internship 5 (see 15.8). It is considered inappropriate for CBI faculty clinicians to ask or demand students to sign a non-compete clause during the intern’s CBI experience (Clinical Internship 2, 3, 4, & 5). Interns in the CBI program who are asked to sign a non-compete clause are to tell their faculty clinician they cannot sign it and should refer their clinician to Clinical Education.
