Maryland chiropractors must complete 48 hours of continuing education each two-year renewal period, including 3 hours in communicable disease and sanitary procedures, 3 hours in risk management, 1 hour in diversity education, and 1 hour in jurisprudence — with the remaining 40 hours in elective subjects related to chiropractic practice. All 48 hours may be completed by distance learning, and a current healthcare-provider-level CPR certification from a Board-approved provider is required in addition to the CE hours. Credits count only in the renewal period in which they are earned.

Online courses are $20/hr — 10% off at 6–9 hours, 20% off at 10+ hours. Discounts apply automatically at checkout, no promo codes.

This page maps the requirements under COMAR 10.43.10 and the Maryland Board of Chiropractic Examiners' published guidance to your renewal planning. Maryland runs a pre-approved provider system, and PACE through the FCLB is on the list — courses from pre-approved providers are considered approved without further Board review when they meet the subject-matter rules. As PACE Provider #34015544, CCEDseminars courses reach Maryland through that pathway. Confirm your personal renewal date on your license, as Maryland renewals run on each licensee's own biennial cycle.

Maryland CE Requirements — What You Need to Know
The 48-Hour Structure — Eight Mandated, Forty Elective

Communicable disease — 3 hours

Approved coursework in communicable and infectious diseases — including HIV/AIDS — and sanitary procedures, every renewal period.

Risk management — 3 hours · Jurisprudence — 1 hour

Three hours in risk management plus a dedicated hour in jurisprudence — Maryland's law-and-rules block for chiropractic practice.

Diversity education — 1 hour

One hour in diversity education each renewal period. Note: some reference sites overstate this as a 3-hour block — the Board's published structure sets it at 1 hour.

40 elective hours

The balance goes to subjects related to chiropractic practice — principles and adjusting technique, diagnostics, imaging, documentation, nutrition, rehabilitation, and other Board-recognized areas. Formal medical CME may contribute at most 12 hours per period.

The Pre-Approved Provider System — Why PACE Courses Count

Maryland designates pre-approved CE providers whose courses require no individual Board review, provided the subject matter fits the regulation: CCE-accredited chiropractic colleges, state and national chiropractic associations, and — by name — PACE through the FCLB. Courses from these providers are considered approved and may be advertised as pre-approved by the Maryland Board under COMAR. CCEDseminars courses, as PACE Provider #34015544 programs co-sponsored by Texas Chiropractic College, reach Maryland through this pathway.

Courses from non-pre-approved providers must be submitted to the Board 60 days before the course date for review, and Board approvals run in 5-year terms. Up to 12 hours per period may also be earned as an instructor, volunteer, or mentor in Board-approved structured programs.

CPR, Carryover & Staying Audit-Ready in Maryland

CPR is a separate, additional requirement: a current CPR certification at the healthcare-provider level from a Board-approved provider must be maintained alongside the 48 CE hours — an online CE certificate does not substitute for it. There is no carryover: approved credits are not transferable and count only toward the renewal period in which they were earned, so hours banked early in a cycle cannot rescue the next one.

Maryland renewals run on each licensee's own biennial cycle — verify your date on your license rather than assuming a statewide deadline. Keep every completion certificate for the full period plus the Board's audit window; CCEDseminars issues instant certificates on completion with permanent dashboard copies, so audit response is a same-day pull.

Maryland Chiropractic CE — Frequently Asked Questions
How many CE hours do Maryland chiropractors need?

48 hours per two-year renewal period: 3 hours in communicable disease and sanitary procedures, 3 hours in risk management, 1 hour in diversity education, 1 hour in jurisprudence, and 40 elective hours in chiropractic-related subjects. Renewal dates run on each licensee's own biennial cycle — check your license for yours.

Can Maryland chiropractors complete all 48 hours online?

Yes. Maryland sets no cap on distance learning — all 48 hours, including the mandated topics, may be completed online through approved or pre-approved providers. The CPR requirement is the exception: it is a separate certification maintained in addition to the 48 hours, not an online CE course.

What are Maryland's mandatory CE topics?

Eight of the 48 hours are mandated: 3 hours in communicable disease (including HIV/AIDS) and sanitary procedures, 3 hours in risk management, 1 hour in diversity education, and 1 hour in jurisprudence. The other 40 hours are elective within Board-recognized chiropractic subject matter.

Are CCEDseminars courses approved for Maryland?

Yes, through Maryland's pre-approved provider system. The Board designates PACE through the FCLB as a pre-approved provider category, and courses from pre-approved providers are considered approved without individual Board review when they meet the subject-matter rules. CCEDseminars is PACE Provider #34015544, co-sponsored by Texas Chiropractic College — itself a CCE-accredited institution.

Do I need CPR certification to renew in Maryland?

Yes. In addition to the 48 CE hours, Maryland licensees must maintain a current CPR certification at the healthcare-provider level from a Board-approved CPR provider. It is a standing certification requirement, separate from your CE coursework, and it cannot be satisfied by an online CE certificate.
