Rule change: Montana's ethics & boundaries requirement was repealed.
Effective June 22, 2024, the Montana Board of Chiropractors eliminated the separate ethics and professional-boundaries CE requirement that had applied since 2017. Several reference sites still instruct Montana doctors to complete 4 hours of ethics and boundaries every four years — that is the pre-2024 rule. Ethics coursework remains creditable toward your 12 hours if you choose it; it simply is no longer mandated.
Montana chiropractors must complete 12 hours of Board-approved continuing education each renewal year, with no mandated topics — the ethics and boundaries requirement was repealed effective June 22, 2024 — and no more than 2 of the 12 hours in philosophy or practice management. All 12 hours may be completed online through PACE-approved and CCE-college-administered programs. Completion is affirmed at renewal, online or on the state form, and the Board verifies compliance by random audit — so keep every certificate.
Online courses are $20/hr — 10% off at 6–9 hours, 20% off at 10+ hours. Discounts apply automatically at checkout, no promo codes.

Montana runs one of the leaner annual requirements in the country — 12 Board-approved hours per renewal year, with no mandated subjects since the 2024 rule change. Choose coursework that serves your practice.
No more than 2 of your 12 hours may come from philosophy or practice-management coursework. The other 10+ hours belong in clinical subject matter — diagnosis, technique, imaging, documentation, and related areas.
Your first 12 hours are due by the end of your first renewal year from original licensure, and you affirm completion on your second renewal application. Hours earned any time in that first year count.
The 4-hours-every-4-years ethics and boundaries block was repealed effective June 22, 2024. Ethics courses still earn full credit toward the 12 if you take them — they are simply no longer a separate obligation.
Bundling discounts apply automatically at checkout when you combine multiple courses in a single order. No promo codes required.
Montana permits all 12 hours by distance learning through accredited pathways: PACE-approved providers recognized by the FCLB, and programs administered by CCE-accredited chiropractic colleges. CCEDseminars sits on both rails — PACE Provider #34015544, co-sponsored by Texas Chiropractic College, a CCE-accredited institution — so a Montana DC can complete the entire annual requirement from the office or home.
Plan around the philosophy cap when assembling a 12-hour year: at least 10 hours should be clinical. Our catalog labels categories clearly, and the automatic bundling discount reaches 20% at exactly the volume a Montana renewal year requires.
Montana is an attestation state: you affirm CE completion at renewal — online or on the state form — rather than submitting certificates up front. The Board enforces honesty through random audits, and an affirmation you cannot document is a disciplinary matter, not a paperwork error.
Keep every certificate — course title, provider, hours, and completion date — organized by renewal year. CCEDseminars issues an instant certificate on completion with a permanent copy in your account dashboard, so an audit letter is answered the same day it arrives.
12 hours of Board-approved continuing education per renewal year, affirmed on your annual renewal. There are no mandated topics, and no more than 2 of the 12 hours may be in philosophy or practice management. Confirm your personal renewal date with the Montana Board of Chiropractors and complete your hours before you affirm.
Yes. Montana accepts all 12 hours by distance learning through PACE-approved providers and CCE-accredited college programs. CCEDseminars qualifies on both pathways — PACE Provider #34015544, co-sponsored by Texas Chiropractic College — so the full annual requirement can be completed online.
No. The separate requirement — 4 hours of ethics and professional boundaries every four years, in place since 2017 — was repealed effective June 22, 2024. Reference sites still listing it are quoting the old rule. Ethics coursework remains fully creditable toward your 12 hours if you choose to take it.
You have until the end of your first renewal year from the date of original licensure to complete your first 12 hours, and you affirm completion on your second renewal application. Hours earned at any point during that first year count toward the requirement.
Not at renewal — Montana works by affirmation: you attest to completion online or on the state form. The Board verifies through random audits, so retain every certificate showing course title, provider, hours, and date. An affirmation you cannot later document exposes you to discipline, which makes organized records the whole game.
