Ethics hours are the ones many boards name by name. Across the country, renewal requirements increasingly carve out dedicated hours for ethics, professional boundaries, or risk management — hours that must come from this subject, not from general clinical CE. This category is built for exactly that line on your renewal checklist: Ethics 201 takes the treatment room — ethical principles, boundary scenarios, informed consent, and the trust that holds a practice together — and Ethics 202 takes the courtroom, walking the law of healthcare malpractice: what the legal standard of care actually is, how liability attaches, and what that means for how you practice and document.
Two instructors, two vantage points: Michael Hall, DC, FIACN teaches the boundaries course from decades at the treatment table and the lectern, and John Riggs III, MBA, DC, DIANM brings the neuromusculoskeletal Diplomate's rigor to malpractice law. Pair them with the Bullet Proof Documentation sequence and the record that defends you is built by the same order that satisfies your board.
Professional risk lives in two places — the daily encounter and the legal system that judges it when something goes wrong. One course for each.
Ethical principles applied to real practice: boundary awareness and the scenarios where lines blur, informed consent done as communication rather than paperwork, and the documentation habits that keep ethical care provable. The natural first course for a board-mandated ethics requirement.
The Law of Healthcare Malpractice: the four elements of negligence, the legal standard of care and who defines it, how liability actually attaches in practice, and what the law's expectations mean for daily clinical decisions and records.
New ethics courses are added as faculty release them — the course grid below always shows the current catalog.
• Core ethical principles of chiropractic practice — and the boundary scenarios where good doctors get into trouble.
• Informed consent as an ongoing communication responsibility, not a signature.
• The legal anatomy of malpractice: duty, breach, causation, damages — and the standard of care as courts actually apply it.
• Decision-making frameworks and documentation habits that keep ethical, defensible care the default rather than the exception.
Michael Hall, DC, FIACN — chiropractic neurologist and Fellow of the International Academy of Chiropractic Neurology — teaches Ethics & Professional Boundaries, bringing decades of clinical teaching to the principles and scenarios of the treatment room.
John Riggs III, MBA, DC, DIANM — Diplomate of the International Academy of Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine — teaches The Law of Healthcare Malpractice, pairing clinical credentials with the business and legal literacy the subject demands.

Most CE hours are interchangeable — ethics hours often aren't. Many state boards name ethics, professional boundaries, or risk management explicitly in renewal requirements: a set number of hours that must come from this subject area, checked as its own line at renewal. Miss the line and the total doesn't matter.
Requirements differ by jurisdiction in hours, wording, and online-format allowances. Confirm exactly what your board requires in your state's guide in the full state directory — every guide states its jurisdiction's subject-area requirements alongside the online rules.
Both courses are 2 hours at $40, and the automatic discounts reward stacking: add your ethics hours to a clinical category — or to the Bullet Proof Documentation sequence — in a single order, and 6–9 hours earns 10% off while 10+ earns 20% off. The required line and the rest of the renewal, one checkout. No promo codes.
Online continuing education in the professional conduct of chiropractic practice: core ethical principles, boundary awareness and common risk scenarios, informed consent and patient communication, and the legal framework of healthcare malpractice. Courses run 2 CE hours each, on-demand, with an assessment and instant certificate.
Many state boards name ethics, professional boundaries, or risk management explicitly within renewal requirements — a set number of hours that must come from this subject area rather than general clinical CE. Requirements differ by jurisdiction in both hours and wording, so check your state's guide in the CCEDseminars state directory to confirm what your board requires and whether online hours satisfy it.
Ethics 201 covers the boundaries of the treatment room — the ethical principles, boundary scenarios, and consent responsibilities of daily practice — and is the natural first course for a board-mandated ethics requirement. Ethics 202 covers the law of healthcare malpractice: the legal standard of care, how liability actually attaches, and what that means for how you practice and document. Together they total 4 hours.
Naturally. The malpractice course pairs with the Bullet Proof Documentation sequence and the risk management category — the legal exposure, the record that defends against it, and the practices that prevent it. Ethics hours also stack with any other category in a single order toward the automatic volume discounts.
Courses are $20 per credit hour, and discounts apply automatically in a single order — 10% off at 6–9 hours, 20% off at 10 or more, so ethics hours stack with any other category in one checkout. Each completion generates an instant PDF certificate with a permanent copy in your account dashboard. No promo codes.
