The current continuing education requirements for Chiropractors are sufficient. By mandating that they be in person adds a financial burden on those doctors who have to travel enough of a distance that would require them to close their office, buy a plane ticket, have rental car expenses, pay for a hotel and meals, etc., all without gaining any additional knowledge or skill.

The economic ramifications of this change could be detrimental to a small practice. A third of chiropractors are women and the average age of a chiropractor puts half of those in what is referred to as "the sandwich generation." They are working/running a practice, taking care of children and their elderly parents. There is always an option to attend in person, however, making it mandatory is a burden not all can bear. 

I strongly oppose this change. If my name and email were not made public, I would have included that. There should be an option to leave contact information without allowing my personal information to be made pubic. Thank you.
