Ohio Chiropractic Continuing Education Requirements

Ohio chiropractors complete 36 hours of continuing education every two years — 34 chiropractic hours plus 2 board-mandated topic hours — with renewal due by March 31 of even-numbered years. All 36 hours may be earned online, and CCEDseminars' PACE-approved courses (FCLB Provider #34015544) are accepted for Ohio renewal. A fresh biennium opened April 1, 2026: doctors who bank hours early spread the load and capture bundle savings. Full details below.

The 2 Board-Mandated Topic Hours

At least 2 of your 36 hours must come from board-mandated topics: boundaries, trauma-informed care, and/or the laws and rules of the board. These hours count within the 36 — not in addition.

Ethics 201: Ethics & Professional Boundaries (2 CE, online) delivers boundaries content applicable toward the board-mandated block in a single course.

Renewing an Acupuncture Certificate? Your 12 Acupuncture Hours

Chiropractors simultaneously renewing an acupuncture certificate split the 36 as 22 chiropractic + 12 acupuncture + 2 board-mandated.

Cover the full acupuncture block efficiently: Acupuncture 201–204 (8-hr bundle) plus Acupuncture 205–210 (8-hr bundle) deliver 16 acupuncture hours — your 12 required plus 4 toward the chiropractic balance — or mix individual 1–2 hour acupuncture courses to land exactly on 12.

Reporting Your Hours: Attest & Retain

Ohio uses an attestation model: you attest on your renewal application that the hours are complete, keep your certificates, and remain subject to board audit. Your CCEDseminars certificate generates in your account the moment you finish each course — download and file it, and your audit trail builds itself as you go.

Plan Your 36 Hours + Recommended Ohio Pathways

A fresh biennium began April 1, 2026 — the smart play is banking hours early rather than sprinting in March 2028. At 36 hours, Ohio doctors sit deep in bundle territory: CCEDseminars applies an automatic 20% discount at checkout on any custom bundle of 10+ CE hours — no promo code.

Live evening webinars add interactive hours on your schedule — see all upcoming live webinars.

Fill the balance: 30+ clinical course categories at $20 per credit hour · custom bundles (10% off at 6–9 hrs, 20% off at 10+) · certification programs that turn biennial hours into a credential.
