Kansas Chiropractic Continuing Education Requirements

Kansas carries one of the heaviest CE loads in the country: 50 hours every year, structured as at least 20 Category I hours (live/interactive), 1 Category III hour (pain management), and the balance in Category II self-paced study, under the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts' Article 15 rules. CCEDseminars pairs monthly live evening webinars with a deep on-demand catalog to cover both major categories — details in the sections below.

Full Requirements Breakdown
RequirementDetail
Total annual hours50 CE hours each year for license renewal — the rule counts credits earned in the 18 months preceding your expiration date (100 credits per 30 months, 150 per 42 months, for longer terms)
Category I minimumAt least 20 hours of live/interactive instruction — live webinars and interactive online courses qualify (40 per 30-month term; 60 per 42)
Category III minimumAt least 1 hour in pain management topics (requirement in place since the 2022 renewal year; 2 per 30-month term, 3 per 42)
Category IIRemaining hours via self-paced study: independent online courses, self-instructional materials, and similar formats
RenewalAnnual — confirm your license expiration date with the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts
Course approvalKansas accepts PACE-approved continuing education (and Kansas Chiropractic Association-approved courses); courses are credited and classified by category (I, II, or III)
ProofLicensees attest completion at renewal and are subject to audit; retain certificates showing your name, course, hours, date, and provider
Category I: Clearing Your 20 Live/Interactive Hours

Twenty live hours a year is the requirement that keeps Kansas doctors driving to weekend seminars — but live, interactive webinars qualify as Category I, and CCEDseminars runs 8–10 hours of live evening webinars every month (typically 7–9 PM CT, 2 CE hours each).

The math: two evening webinars a month for ten months clears your entire Category I load from your desk — no travel, no lost patient days. See this month's live webinar schedule and check each course's Kansas approval status in your account.

What the rule actually says (K.A.R. 100-15-4(b) and 100-15-7): Category I is a lecture, panel discussion, workshop, seminar, symposium, or any other structured, interactive, and formal learning method the Board deems equivalent. A distance-learning course can earn Category I credit if it meets four conditions — a way to contact the provider with questions, an evaluation of the learner's knowledge, a limit on completion time of no more than twice the credit hours, and printable verification of completion. Live webinars satisfy Category I plainly; for self-paced courses, treat them as Category II unless you have confirmed all four conditions.

Category III: The Pain Management Hour

Since the 2022 renewal year, Kansas requires at least 1 hour of Category III CE in pain management topics. Pain-focused courses such as Orthopedics 208: Managing Chronic Pain or Nutrition 249: New Strategies for Pain Management may apply — confirm each course's Category III classification for Kansas before counting it toward this requirement.

The definition (K.A.R. 100-15-4(d)): an internet or live continuing-education activity that also meets Category I or II standards and covers at least one of: acute or chronic pain management, the appropriate prescribing of opioids, or the use of prescription drug monitoring programs. Category III credits count within your 50 total; they do not add to it, and a self-paced Category III course does not reduce your 20 Category I hours.

Both courses above are packaged in the Kansas Category III Pain-Management Pack (4 hours, $80) and included in the Kansas 30-Hour Category II Max + Category III Bundle.

Category II: Filling the Balance with Self-Paced Study

Everything beyond your Category I and III minimums can come from Category II self-paced study — independent online courses, self-instructional materials, journal-based learning, and similar formats. That's a fit for on-demand CE at $20 per credit hour across 30+ clinical categories: complete courses at your own pace, evenings or between patients, with instant certificates on completion.

In an 18-month term that balance is up to 30 hours — and the Kansas 30-Hour Category II Max + Category III Bundle covers all of it in one purchase, with the Category III credit built in.

Course Approvals & Reporting Your Hours

Kansas accepts PACE-approved continuing education — CCEDseminars is FCLB PACE Provider #34015544, so our courses qualify. What Kansas does add is category classification: each activity is credited and classified as Category I, II, or III. Confirm the category of anything you're counting toward a Category I or Category III minimum, since those carry hard minimums.

Licensees maintain and submit evidence of CE completion per Kansas State Board of Healing Arts requirements. Your CCEDseminars certificate generates instantly on completion — download and file each one so your renewal documentation is ready when you are.

Plan Your 50 Hours + Recommended Kansas Pathways

Fifty hours a year rewards a system, not a scramble. A clean Kansas rhythm: two live evening webinars per month (Category I handled by October) + one pain-management hour early in the year (Category III done) + self-paced courses banked monthly for the Category II balance.

At Kansas volumes, bundling is decisive: any cart of 10+ CE hours triggers an automatic 20% discount at checkout — no promo code — and a 50-hour year gives you five shots at it. Build a custom bundle.

Going deeper: certification programs convert a heavy annual requirement into a career credential — 48-hour tracks like clinical neurology or clinical nutrition nearly cover a full Kansas year by themselves.
