It is important that doctors of chiropractic be able to get relevant continuing education requirements that are other than treatment related. There are many subjects that pertain to chiropractors that re not clinical: risk management, patient recordkeeping, HIPPA requirements, medicare requirements, cultural competency, etc. Therefore, I agree with this petition and ask that the word "clinical" be removed from statute.

However, I strongly oppose the “in-person/live” recommendation in this petition. There are many great programs that are online. Why limit chiropractors to 6 hrs. online out of 30 hrs. (only 20%) as acceptable CEUs? Seems arbitrary and punitive for those that prefer online training. Also, the added cost of travel and accommodations on licensees seems unnecessarily burdensome. Some in-person/live requirement might be good. I suggest 10 hours out of 30 hours required to be live and allow 20 hours out of 30 to be online or other method.
