I'm writing to share my interest in removing the "clinical" requirement for the 30 hours of CE and my disinterest in requiring "in person" continuing education mandates. I practiced in Florida when they required many in person CE's back in 2006 to 2010. Many chiropractors signed friends in or out and or spent their time on phones or laptops and didnt pay attention to the lectures and complained about being forced to spend extra time and money at mandated CE's. You cannot force people to participate just because you're in person. In person education is not necessary for the majority of CE's in our profession. Many people have different styles of learning and cannot pay attention to a full day or long weekend of classes. Online gives you flexibility to stop and start a class on your own time.
I'm for choice. We all did the necessary education "in person" hours required by our accredited Colleges and passed National Board Examinations just like medical doctors. I'd like the flexibility to choose online or in person education; not be forced to do one over the other. Florida no longer requires in person and part of reason is mandates don't work well. Just my opinion. I enjoy doing the occasional in person technique/hands on seminars but don't require us to do so.
