Course Overview
Most ethics CE feels like a box to check. This webinar treats ethics as a defensible practice architecture: the documentation patterns, informed-consent language, and TBCE-rule-aligned decision frameworks that protect you when a complaint, audit, or peer-review inquiry lands. Dr. Hall maps the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners rules to the clinical decisions chiropractors make every day — and shows you how to build a paper trail that survives scrutiny. The course is PACE-approved through CCEDseminars (FCLB Provider #34015544).
- The TBCE 2-hour ethics renewal requirement, satisfied in one live session
- Defensible practice architecture: informed consent, scope, referral, and documentation patterns
- How TBCE rules map to clinical decisions in the chiropractic visit
- Defensible language patterns for high-risk encounters (refusal of care, scope edges, complaint risk)
Your Instructor
Dr. Michael W. Hall, DC, FIACN
Fellow, International Academy of Chiropractic Neurology · CCEDseminars senior faculty
Dr. Hall is a CCEDseminars senior faculty member specializing in chiropractic neurology, evidence-based practice, and defensible clinical workflows. He is widely cited by chiropractors as the faculty who teaches them how to defend their clinical decisions in writing — with a teaching style that prioritizes peer-reviewed evidence, regulatory defensibility, and clinical applicability.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- Apply Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners (TBCE) rules to the clinical decisions chiropractors make every day, in a way that satisfies the full 2-hour TX ethics renewal requirement.
- Build a defensible practice architecture: informed-consent patterns, scope-of-practice documentation, and referral-decision frameworks that survive complaint and audit scrutiny.
- Communicate high-risk encounters (refusal of care, scope edges, atypical presentations) in chart language that holds up under peer review.
- Integrate ethics-aligned documentation patterns into your existing chiropractic visit workflow without adding clinical friction.
Course Outline
Hour 1 — The Defensible Practice Architecture
- The TBCE rules every Texas chiropractor must operationalize, not just memorize
- Informed consent that satisfies the rule AND protects the relationship
- Scope-of-practice documentation: where the lines are, where they get blurred, and how to chart the difference
- Referral patterns: when, why, and how to document the handoff defensibly
- The “ethical practice architecture” frame — how ethics shows up in chart structure, not just in policy
Hour 2 — High-Risk Encounters & Documentation Patterns
- Refusal-of-care encounters: language that protects you AND respects the patient
- Scope-edge encounters: charting clinical reasoning when the answer isn’t clean
- Complaint-risk patterns and how to neutralize them in documentation
- Peer-review readiness: what a reviewer looks for and how to write so they find it
- Integrating defensible patterns into your existing workflow without slowing the visit
- Case examples + live Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions
About This Webinar
Do I need to attend live to earn the 2 CE hours?
Yes. Live broadcast attendance is required for the full 2 CE hours. CCEDseminars does not offer replay credit for live webinars; the live format is what qualifies the credit under PACE and state-board live-CE rules.
What format is the webinar and what device do I need?
The webinar is delivered via secure live video stream. You can join from any modern desktop, tablet, or smartphone with a stable internet connection. No special software install is required — the link opens in your browser.
What do the 2 CE hours cover?
Two hours of live instruction split evenly: Hour 1 covers the defensible practice architecture — TBCE rules in operation, informed consent, scope, and referral documentation. Hour 2 covers high-risk encounters and the documentation patterns that survive complaint and peer-review scrutiny. Course materials are included in your post-course notes inside your CCED account.
How do I get my CE certificate after the webinar?
Your certificate is generated and available for immediate printing inside your CCEDseminars account once attendance is verified. CE Broker and applicable state boards are auto-reported on your behalf.
Texas Renewal & CE Requirements
Does this satisfy my full Texas 2-hour ethics requirement?
Yes. According to the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners, licensees must complete 2 hours of ethics CE per renewal cycle. This single 2-hour live webinar satisfies that requirement in full. The course is PACE-approved (FCLB Provider #34015544), which is the broadest credentialing pathway for chiropractic CE across U.S. state boards. CE Broker and TBCE are auto-reported on your behalf.
How does this fit into the full Texas 16-hour CE renewal?
Texas chiropractors complete 16 CE hours per renewal cycle, split 6 live/webinar + 10 online/on-demand. This 2-hour live webinar applies to the 6-hour live portion AND satisfies the 2-hour ethics requirement within it. Pair it with Dr. Hall’s Documentation & Risk Management course to round out the TX specialty stack: Ethics (2) + Risk (1) + Documentation/Coding (1) = 4 hours.
What is the difference between this course and other ethics CE?
Other ethics CE tends to recite the rules. This webinar operationalizes them. Dr. Hall maps each TBCE rule to the clinical decisions chiropractors make every day and to the chart language that defends those decisions. You leave with a defensible practice architecture — documentation patterns, informed-consent language, and decision frameworks you can apply Monday morning.
Is this course appropriate for non-Texas chiropractors?
Yes. While the course centers on TBCE rules, the defensible-practice architecture, informed-consent patterns, and documentation frameworks apply universally to chiropractic ethics CE in any U.S. state. The course is PACE-approved, which is recognized for ethics CE in most state boards — the CMS-injected approvals list at the bottom of this page shows the full state-by-state recognition for this course.
What are these CE hours called in different states?
Texas chiropractors searching for these hours may call them CE, CEUs, continuing education, license renewal hours, post-graduate credits, ethics hours, or PACE-approved courses. All terms refer to the same TBCE-recognized continuing education required for biennial renewal.
