Iowa Chiropractic CEUs  FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions...

 1.  What are Continuing Education (CE) credits, and why are they important for chiropractors?
Continuing Education credits are educational units required for chiropractors to maintain their licenses and stay current with industry standards. These credits help ensure that chiropractors are up-to-date with the latest techniques, research, and best practices in patient care.

 2.  How many CE credits do I need to complete each year?
The number of required CE credits varies by state. Most states require between 12 to 36 credits annually or biennially. It's essential to check with your state chiropractic board to understand the specific requirements for your license renewal period.

 3.  What types of courses count towards CE credits?
Courses that focus on clinical skills, ethics, business practices, and patient management typically count towards CE credits. Many states accept both in-person and online courses, but some may have restrictions or require a certain number of in-person hours.

 4.  Can I carry over excess CE credits to the next renewal period?
It depends on your state’s regulations. Some states allow you to carry over a certain number of excess credits to the next renewal period, while others do not. It’s best to check your state board’s policy on this matter.

 5.  What happens if I don't complete my CE credits on time?
Failing to complete the required CE credits can result in penalties such as fines, suspension, or even revocation of your chiropractic license. Some states offer a grace period or allow for an extension, but it’s crucial to stay ahead of deadlines to avoid complications.

 6.  Are there specific topics I need to cover in my CE courses?
Yes, many states mandate specific topics like ethics, risk management, or state laws as part of the CE requirements. You may also need to take courses related to adjusting techniques, rehabilitation, or nutrition, depending on your state's guidelines.

 7.  How can I find approved CE providers and courses?
Approved CE providers and courses are typically listed on your state chiropractic board’s website. You can also look for accredited organizations like the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) or state chiropractic associations, which offer approved courses.

 8.  Can I fulfill my CE requirements through online courses?
Most states allow a portion or even all CE credits to be completed online, especially since the pandemic. However, some states require a certain number of in-person or live courses, so it’s important to verify the online course policies with your state board.

 9.  Do I need to submit proof of my CE credits when renewing my license?
Typically, you are required to provide proof of CE completion when renewing your license. This may include certificates of completion or transcripts from the course provider. Some states conduct random audits, so it’s essential to keep your documentation organized and accessible.

 10.  What should I do if my CE credits are not accepted by my state board?
If your credits are not accepted, contact your state board to understand the reason. You may need to take additional courses or provide more information about the courses you completed. It’s advisable to always verify that your courses are pre-approved by your state board to prevent such issues.
