What Are The Oregon Exams?

The Obstetrics, Gynecology and Genitourinary Examination (OGG) and the Minor Surgery and Proctology Examination (MSP) are required by the state of Oregon for candidates seeking licensure. For current licensing requirements, please contact the Oregon Board of Chiropractic Examiners.

Testing appointments at Prometric are scheduled for one hour and include a brief tutorial, the exam, and a post-examination survey. Apply and schedule for the OGG and MSP exams separately.
