I believe that the CEU requirements proposed by the BOM and as well as the use of the term "clinical" in the subject of those hours should be equal across all professions that the BOM regulates and should not be different for Chiropractors compared to our allopathic colleagues. Although chiropractic is a unique type of healthcare, the public should rest assured that our professional requirement are on par with other physicians in the commonwealth. Furthermore, if CEU's are allowed to be obtained partially or fully online for other healthcare professionals, the regulation should be the same for chiropractors. In person or virtual choice should be left up to each individual practitioner. 

In conclusion, I feel the CEU hours of 30 hours every cycle renewal is acceptable. I am opposed to changing that 24 of the 30 hours be mandated to be in-person, specifically if you are a chiropractor. No matter how well intentioned this suggestion is, it does not mean that the majority are in favor of this. Not to mention that this change does not cut, eliminate or downsize regulatory and legislative burdens. 

Furthermore, I am for changing the term "clinical" hours being required for chiropractor's, if that is not a requirement for other healthcare professionals regulated by the BOM. The type of CEU allowed may not be clinical, but nonetheless relevant to the safety, health and well-being of the community and should not be discouraged by the BOM.
