TBCE Ethics: Required Credit Hours — chiropractic ethics CE live webinar overview graphic, August 18, 2026

Course Overview

The Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners requires every licensee to complete 2 hours of ethics CE per renewal cycle. Most chiropractors treat the requirement as a checkbox. This webinar treats it as a clinical asset. Dr. Hall walks through the TBCE regulatory framework, maps it to the ethical decisions chiropractors face every day, and gives you compliance patterns that protect your license and your patients. PACE-approved — FCLB Provider #34015544.

  • The full TBCE 2-hour ethics renewal requirement, satisfied in one live session
  • Professional boundaries, scope-of-practice ethics, and patient-rights principles
  • Common ethics violations cited by TBCE and how to avoid them
  • Compliance patterns that integrate into your existing clinical workflow

Approval & Renewal Facts at a Glance

According to the official FCLB PACE Provider Search, CCEDseminars is recognized as PACE. Texas chiropractors should confirm the 6-hour live and 10-hour online split published in the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners CE rules. CE Broker & PACE auto-reporting is performed by CCEDseminars automatically per course completion per Propelus CE Broker licensure policy.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

  1. Identify the specific TBCE ethics rules that govern Texas chiropractic licensure and map each rule to the clinical and administrative decisions it regulates.
  2. Apply professional-boundary and patient-rights principles to common practice scenarios, including scope-edge encounters, dual relationships, and financial-consent situations.
  3. Recognize the most frequently cited ethics violations in TBCE complaint and disciplinary records and implement compliance patterns that prevent them.
  4. Integrate TBCE-aligned ethics protocols into existing clinical workflows without adding administrative friction or disrupting patient throughput.

Course Outline

Hour 1 — The TBCE Ethics Framework: What the Board Requires and Why

  • The TBCE ethics rules chiropractors must satisfy — requirement structure, hour breakdown, and what counts
  • Professional boundaries in chiropractic: scope-of-practice ethics, dual relationships, and financial transparency
  • Patient rights under the TBCE framework — informed consent, autonomy, and the right to refuse
  • Common TBCE-cited ethics violations: what the complaint record reveals and how to stay clear
  • The ethics-compliance architecture — how rules translate to office policy, chart language, and clinical decisions

Hour 2 — Applied Ethics: Compliance Patterns for Clinical Practice

  • Scope-edge encounters: when clinical reasoning crosses practice-act lines and how to document the boundary
  • Financial ethics: fee disclosure, prepayment plans, and the documentation that satisfies TBCE scrutiny
  • Social-media and advertising ethics: what TBCE rules say about patient testimonials, claims, and online conduct
  • Inter-professional ethics: referral obligations, co-management, and documentation of the handoff
  • Building a compliance-by-design practice — integrating TBCE ethics into your workflow, not bolting them on
  • 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 TBCE ethics framework — the rules, professional boundaries, patient rights, and common violations. Hour 2 covers applied compliance patterns — scope-edge encounters, financial ethics, advertising rules, and integrating TBCE ethics into your clinical workflow. 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.

How is this different from the Defensible Practice Strategies ethics course?

The Defensible Practice Strategies course focuses specifically on documentation patterns, informed-consent language, and charting defensibility. This course takes a broader view of the TBCE ethics framework — professional boundaries, patient rights, common violations, advertising and financial ethics, and compliance-by-design practice architecture. Together they cover the full ethics landscape; either one satisfies the 2-hour TBCE ethics requirement on its own.

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). 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 live webinar (August 20, 2026) to complete the full TX specialty stack: Ethics (2) + Risk (1) + Documentation/Coding (1) = 4 hours in two sessions.

Is this course appropriate for non-Texas chiropractors?

Yes. While the course centers on TBCE rules, the ethics frameworks, professional-boundary principles, and compliance patterns 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.
