I'm writing to share my perspective on the recent chiropractic CE petition. After reviewing the materials, here's where I stand:

I support removing "clinical" from the statute. As practitioners, we need CE flexibility beyond just clinical topics—risk management, documentation, HIPAA compliance, and ethics are all essential to running a safe, compliant practice.

However, I am opposed to requiring CE to be in-person only (or sharply capping online hours).

Many excellent online live stream/on demand programs come from accredited institutions and often provide better learning outcomes through replay and review capabilities.

Also, in person CE would limit us to what’s offered on a given weekend not what would make us a better practitioner. The added burden of travel, lodging, and time away from practice hits smaller practices especially hard. 

I'd encourage the Board to maintain the current flexibility, allowing us to choose between online and in-person CE based on what works best for our practices and learning styles. This professional discretion has served our profession well and ensures we can all stay current without unnecessary barriers

Thank you for considering my input on this important issue.
