Three Ways to Enroll

Every CPIS course is sold individually. You are never required to buy the full program up front — and the bundling discount applies automatically no matter how you assemble your hours. Choose the path that fits your renewal cycle and your budget.

OPTION 1

Individual Courses

Buy any single CPIS course on its own at $20 per CE hour. Best when you need to close a specific gap — a trauma imaging refresher before a deposition, or your state's ethics hour.

  • Full PACE CE credit and an instant certificate on every course
  • CE Broker auto-reporting on completion
  • No discount applies below 6 hours — hours still count toward CPIS if you continue later
OPTION 2

Custom Bundle

Assemble your own selection from the 13 CPIS courses and the discount applies on its own at checkout. Mix domains freely — there is no required sequence and no prerequisite.

  • 6–9 hours → 10% off the entire cart
  • 10+ hours → 20% off the entire cart
  • No promo codes — the discount is calculated and applied automatically
  • You may return later and add the remaining hours toward CPIS at any time
OPTION 3 · BEST VALUE

Complete CPIS Package

All 13 courses, all 25 hours. The only path that earns the frame-ready CPIS certificate, and the lowest effective rate we offer on this material.

  • $500 base tuition → $400 after the automatic 20% (save $100)
  • Frame-ready CPIS certificate issued after transcript audit at the 25th hour
  • Complete on any schedule — no deadline, no expiration on course access

Hours earned through Option 1 or 2 count toward the 25. Doctors who complete the program in stages receive the same CPIS certificate as those who purchase it all at once.

Save more when you stack hours. Online courses are $20/hr — 10% off at 6–9 hours, 20% off at 10+ hours. Discounts apply automatically at checkout. No promo codes required.

The CPIS Curriculum — 13 Courses, Four Domains

Full Course List by Domain — Tap to Expand

Each domain combines clinical evidence, med-legal best practice, and the protocols a DC applies when managing a personal injury case from initial exam through resolution. There is no required sequence — take the domains in any order.

Domain 1 — Trauma Imaging & Diagnostic Assessment · 4 CE hours

Chiropractic integration: The DC managing a PI case must correlate imaging findings with mechanism of injury, differentiate pre-existing degeneration from acute trauma, and document radiographic findings in a form that withstands legal scrutiny.

  • Radiology 205 — Advanced Trauma Imaging · 2 CE hours
  • Radiology 206 — Advanced Trauma Imaging · 2 CE hours
Domain 2 — Evidence-Based Imaging & Clinical Decision Making · 8 CE hours

Chiropractic integration: Ordering the right study — and being able to explain why — is where PI cases are won or lost. This domain builds the reasoning that keeps imaging decisions defensible and reduces avoidable studies.

  • Evidence-Based Practice 201 · 2 CE hours
  • Evidence-Based Practice 202 · 2 CE hours
  • Evidence-Based Practice 203 · 2 CE hours
  • Evidence-Based Practice 204 · 2 CE hours
Domain 3 — Whiplash & Soft-Tissue Injury Management · 10 CE hours

Chiropractic integration: Whiplash-associated disorders are the most common PI presentation in chiropractic practice. The DC must grade severity, establish causation, apply evidence-based protocols, and document functional progress in a defensible narrative.

  • Whiplash 201 · 2 CE hours
  • Whiplash 202 · 2 CE hours
  • Whiplash 203 · 2 CE hours
  • Whiplash 204 · 2 CE hours
  • Whiplash 205 · 2 CE hours
Domain 4 — Documentation, Ethics & Risk · 3 CE hours

Chiropractic integration: PI documentation is simultaneously a clinical record and a legal document. Every entry must satisfy clinical best-practice standards and the evidentiary requirements of insurance and legal proceedings. This domain also covers the med-legal communication and case-management frameworks that protect the treating DC's credibility.

  • Ethics 201 — Ethics in Personal Injury Practice · 2 CE hours
  • Risk 202 — Documentation & Risk Management · 1 CE hour

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions — Tap to Expand
Do I have to buy all 25 hours at once?

No. Every CPIS course is sold individually at $20 per CE hour. You may buy one course, assemble a custom bundle, or take the complete package. Hours accumulate in your account, so doctors who complete the program in stages earn the same CPIS certificate as those who purchase all 25 hours at once.

How does the bundling discount work?

Discounts are based on the hours in your cart at checkout: 10% off at 6–9 hours, 20% off at 10+ hours. The calculation is automatic — there are no promo codes to enter. The full 25-hour program at 20% off comes to $400, a $100 savings off the $500 base tuition.

Is there a required order for the courses?

No. There is no prerequisite and no required sequence. Take the domains in whatever order suits your practice — many doctors begin with Documentation, Ethics & Risk because it applies to every case immediately.

What is the CPIS certificate?

A post-doctoral certificate of completion recognizing 25 hours of advanced study in personal injury chiropractic practice, covering trauma imaging, evidence-based decision making, whiplash management, documentation, ethics, and risk. It is designed for clinical professional growth and CE renewal — it is not a board diplomate credential.

Will the 25 CPIS hours satisfy my state CE renewal?

In most cases yes. All CPIS courses are PACE-approved and recognized in 40+ U.S. states, Canada, and several international jurisdictions. CE Broker auto-reports your completion. Confirm your state's rules on the state CE guidelines page.

How long does the CPIS program take to complete?

As long or as short as you need. CPIS is 100% online and self-paced with no deadline and no expiration on course access. Each course generates an instant CE certificate on completion, and the frame-ready CPIS certificate is issued after our team audits your transcript at the 25th hour.
