Rhode Island chiropractic physicians must certify 60 hours of continuing education every three years under 216-RICR-40-05-17, applying to the Board on or before October 30 of every third year — the current cycle runs to October 30, 2028 — with at least 50 of the 60 hours in clinically-related courses and at least 30 hours in live, didactic instruction with direct faculty interaction. Approved live webinars qualify for the live block, and up to 30 hours may be completed through self-paced online courses — which means the entire 60-hour cycle can be planned without leaving your office.
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 R.I. Gen. Laws § 5-30-13 and the Department of Health's chiropractic regulations to your triennium planning. As a PACE-recognized provider (#34015544) co-sponsored by Texas Chiropractic College, CCEDseminars delivers both halves of the Rhode Island structure: live monthly webinars with real-time faculty interaction for the 30-hour live block, and a deep on-demand catalog for the 30-hour distance allowance. One precision note: the regulation sets the deadline at October 30, not the October 31 many reference sites list.

Hours are earned across the three-year period preceding recertification and certified to the Board by October 30 of every third year. Twenty hours a year keeps the pace comfortable; sixty in the final autumn does not.
No fewer than 50 of the 60 hours must be clinically-related — diagnosis, technique, imaging, patient management, and allied clinical subjects. At most 10 hours may come from non-clinical topics like practice management.
At least 30 hours must be live, didactic instruction with direct faculty interaction — and approved live webinars, teleconferences, lectures, and workshops all qualify. Real-time Q&A is the substance of the requirement, not the room.
Up to 30 hours may be self-paced online coursework. The clean plan: 30 live webinar hours + 30 on-demand hours = the full 60, all from your office, with the clinical minimum easily maintained across both formats.
Bundling discounts apply automatically at checkout when you combine multiple courses in a single order. No promo codes required.
Rhode Island accepts PACE-recognized coursework, which is CCEDseminars' pathway as Provider #34015544 co-sponsored by Texas Chiropractic College. Rhode Island carries no standing mandated topics — but the regulation reserves the Board's power to designate specific practice-area coursework for a cycle, with notification to each licensee before the three-year cycle begins. When the Board activates a designation, we flag the qualifying courses here.
Newly licensed chiropractors generally do not owe CE for the cycle in which they are first licensed — confirm your individual status with the Board of Examiners in Chiropractic Medicine, since your certification date depends on when in the triennium your license issued.
By October 30 of the certification year, you apply to the Board for certification of triennial registration with satisfactory evidence of the 60 hours. Retain course descriptions and completion certificates for no less than two years from renewal — the Department audits by random selection, and a licensee who cannot furnish satisfactory evidence faces refusal of renewal after hearing.
The Department of Health emails renewal notices about 60 days before expiration — keep your contact information current. CCEDseminars issues an instant certificate on completion of every course and webinar, each stored permanently in your dashboard, so the October certification and any audit letter are a same-day pull.
60 hours every three years, certified to the Board on or before October 30 of every third year — the current cycle runs to October 30, 2028. At least 50 of the 60 must be clinically-related, and hours must be completed within the three-year period preceding recertification, per 216-RICR-40-05-17 and R.I. Gen. Laws § 5-30-13.
Yes. Rhode Island's live block requires didactic instruction with direct interaction between faculty and participants — and approved live webinars and teleconferences qualify alongside in-person lectures and workshops. CCEDseminars runs live webinars monthly with real-time Q&A, making the 30-hour live requirement completable from your office.
Up to 30 of the 60 hours. Combined with 30 hours of approved live webinars, the entire triennium can be completed remotely: 30 live + 30 on-demand, with the 50-hour clinical minimum maintained across both formats. Keep every certificate — the Department audits randomly.
No standing topics beyond the 50-hour clinical minimum. The regulation does let the Board designate specific practice-area coursework for a given cycle, with notice to each licensee before the cycle begins — so watch Board communications at the start of each triennium for any active designation.
Retain course descriptions and completion certificates for at least two years from the date of license renewal — the Department of Health audits by random selection. A licensee who cannot furnish satisfactory evidence of the 60 hours faces refusal of renewal after hearing, so organized records are the whole defense. CCEDseminars certificates are instant and stored permanently in your dashboard.
