New Iowa rule: excess hours now carry over.
Effective June 18, 2025, under 481—844.2(4), up to 50 percent of your continuing education hours — as many as 20 — can be carried into the next biennium when you complete more than the 40-hour minimum. The mandated topics are the exception: professional boundaries, the Iowa administrative-rules hour, and child/dependent adult abuse training must be completed fresh each cycle and never carry over. Most reference sites still state that Iowa allows no carryover; that was true before 2025 and is no longer the rule.
Iowa chiropractic physicians must complete a minimum of 40 hours of continuing education each biennium — the current cycle runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028 — with at least 36 hours in clinical case management, at least 20 of those delivered in-person in a classroom with the instructor, 2 hours in professional boundaries, and 1 hour on Iowa's chiropractic administrative rules. Up to 20 hours may be completed online: 16 of the clinical hours plus the non-clinical mandated topics. One CE hour equals at least 50 minutes of instruction, and since 2025, up to half of any excess hours carry into the next cycle.

This page maps the requirements under Iowa Administrative Code 481—Chapter 844 (Iowa Board of Chiropractic, amended effective June 18, 2025) to your renewal planning. Iowa recognizes PACE in the rule itself: courses certified by Providers of Approved Continuing Education through the FCLB qualify under 481—844.3(2)(b)(5) — which is exactly what CCEDseminars courses are, as PACE Provider #34015544.

The rule defines it precisely: coursework in diagnosis, treatment, and appropriate referral or coordination of care. Basic anatomy/physiology and undergraduate-level coursework never qualify.
At least 20 of the clinical hours require a traditional classroom with you in the same room as the instructor. Live-streamed webinars do not satisfy this block — plan real seminar attendance across the biennium rather than discovering the gap in June 2028.
16 of the clinical hours may be independent study or online instruction with a posttest and certificate. The remaining 4 hours — boundaries and the admin-rules hour — carry no in-person restriction. Total online ceiling: 20. Sources claiming "16 online" count only the clinical portion.
No CE is required for your first renewal except 2 hours on Iowa's chiropractic administrative rules (481—Chapters 841–846 and Iowa Code chapter 151). Hours earned between initial licensure and second renewal may be applied after the first renewal period.
Bundling discounts apply automatically at checkout when you combine multiple courses in a single order. No promo codes required.
Professional boundaries — 2 hours every biennium. Ethical issues related to professional conduct, which may include sexual harassment, sensitivity training, and ethics. Iowa administrative rules — 1 hour every biennium (2 hours in your first renewal period) covering 481—Chapters 841–846 and Iowa Code chapter 151. Child and dependent adult abuse training per 481—subrule 841.8(4) for licensees subject to Iowa's mandatory-reporter requirements, completed through the state's designated training. None of these three ever carries over — each must be completed fresh within the cycle.
Acupuncture — 12 hours per biennium, but only if certified. Licensees certified in acupuncture must complete 12 acupuncture hours, which may count toward clinical case management when actively practicing acupuncture. Chiropractors not practicing acupuncture may still take acupuncture coursework for general credit.
Carryover, new in 2025: complete more than 40 hours and up to half of the excess — a maximum of 20 hours — rolls into the next biennium, mandated topics excluded. Qualifying pathways named in rule include PACE-certified courses (FCLB), programs from CCE-accredited colleges, the Iowa Chiropractic Society, ACA, and ICA, teaching at CCE-approved programs (15 hours per course, capped), presenting a program's initial delivery, and proctoring the NBCE exam (15 hours per event, 30-hour cap, applicable to the clinical requirement).
One CE hour equals at least 50 minutes of actual attendance. Every certificate must show dates, location, course title, presenters, and clock hours — the Board audits by selection, and presenter conflict-of-interest disclosures are part of what makes a program compliant. CCEDseminars issues an instant certificate on completion with a permanent dashboard copy, so an audit response is a same-day pull.
A minimum of 40 hours per biennium under Iowa rule 481—844.2. The compliance period runs July 1 of an even-numbered year through June 30 of the next even-numbered year — the current cycle is July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028. Iowa reduced the requirement from 60 to 40 hours starting with the 2018–2020 biennium; sources still citing 60 hours are quoting the pre-2018 rule.
Up to 20 of the 40. The rule permits 16 of the clinical case management hours by independent study or online instruction with a posttest and certificate, and the 4 non-clinical hours — professional boundaries and the Iowa administrative-rules hour — carry no in-person restriction. Sources stating a 16-hour online limit are counting only the clinical portion of the allowance.
No. The rule requires a traditional in-person, classroom-type presentation with the licensee in the same room as the instructor for at least 20 of the clinical hours. A live-streamed webinar — ours or anyone's — counts toward the online allowance, not the in-person block. Plan physical seminar attendance across the biennium for those 20 hours.
Yes — by name, in the rule itself. Iowa 481—844.3(2)(b)(5) lists courses certified by Providers of Approved Continuing Education (PACE) through the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards as a qualifying credit source. CCEDseminars is PACE Provider #34015544, so our courses qualify under that provision, subject to the format structure — online hours count toward the 20-hour online allowance.
Yes — as of June 18, 2025. Under 481—844.2(4), up to 50 percent of continuing education hours can carry into the next biennium when the prior period's completed hours exceeded the 40-hour minimum — a maximum of 20 carried hours. The mandated topics are excluded: professional boundaries, the administrative-rules hour, and abuse training must be completed within each cycle. Before this amendment Iowa allowed no carryover, and many reference sites still state the old rule.
