The regulations for chiropractors’ CE hours should mirror that of our fellow governed professions, especially since statistics demonstrate we are significantly less likely to cause harm to a patient in the normal course of our professional duties.  In person hours can be quite beneficial for learning a new adjusting style; however, we have been through all the education required to get a degree and all of the testing required to obtain a license.  We then go into practice, where we do our jobs day in and day out, constantly learning in real time as we help people return toward proper health.  We are also financially responsible for ourselves, our staff and our families; time is a valuable commodity to the small business owner and we always need more than we have to use.  Requiring that our continuing education be in a specific place or on certain topics is presumptuous as we do not fit one mold.  I practice an instrument-based technique in a hybrid mobile setting and don’t take insurances; my educational needs are wildly different from a manual adjuster with multiple brick-and-mortar offices who sees Medicare patients.  We should be allowed to pursue relevant topics that interest and provide value to us as well as our patients.
