As a Chiropractor, and a busy one at that, I personally cannot afford to take off long weekends on a regular basis to attend in-person CE hours. Having the ability to complete my hours online is absolutely essential for my practice. Limiting online CE hours would also hurt the companies that provide these crucial services to doctors like myself. Most of the time the in-person CE courses are out of state, as the Commonwealth of Virginia has very few opportunities for in-person Chiropractic CE's. There are no Colleges for Chiropractic here, so I am then burdened with not only paying for the courses themself, but travel and hotel expenses as well. I understand that some Chiropractors want more collaboration between the many offices across the state, but this is not a viable option for myself and many others. Financially it is actually more detrimental to us, not only from the travel aspect, but because of the time we have to take off to attend them. Closing our offices to travel to these events then becomes a day of lost pay from not seeing our patients, and also effects their treatment plans. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Respectfully, 

Dr. Ryan E. Hollingshead
