Most professional risk comes down to two lines: the boundary line and the error line. Complaints, audits, and claims overwhelmingly trace to one or the other — a doctor-patient relationship that drifted, or an error the practice's systems didn't catch. This category holds one focused hour on each: Professional Boundaries, the principles and high-risk scenarios of the relationship side, and Medical Error Management, the systems side — how errors arise in workflow and how a practice contains them.
The 1-hour format is the point. Where the ethics and medical errors categories carry the 2-hour deep dives, these are precision hours — built for renewals that name a small number of risk or boundaries hours, and for finishing an order at exactly the right total. Taught by Monte Horne, DC (boundaries) and John Riggs III, MBA, DC, DIANM (error management) — the founder's reviewer-chair perspective on one side, the malpractice-law instructor's systems view on the other.
The courses stand alone — choose by exposure, or take both for the full 2-hour block.
Professional Boundaries, taught by Monte Horne, DC: the principles that hold the doctor-patient relationship in professional shape, the high-risk scenarios where lines blur, and the communication habits that prevent the misunderstanding before it starts.
Medical Error Management, taught by John Riggs III, MBA, DC, DIANM: how errors arise in clinical and administrative workflow, and the office systems, policies, and documentation that manage them — the systems view from the instructor who also teaches the law of what happens when they aren't.
New risk management courses are added as faculty release them — the course grid below always shows the current catalog.
• The risk factors that most commonly lead to complaints, audits, or claims — and which line they cross.
• Professional boundary principles and the high-risk scenarios where good intentions drift.
• How errors arise in practice workflow, and the office systems and policies that contain them.
• Communication and documentation habits that reduce misunderstandings and keep defensibility routine.
Monte Horne, DC — founder and CE Program Director of CCEDseminars, former Texas Department of Insurance Designated Doctor (1996–2010), and an active expert witness and peer reviewer — teaches Professional Boundaries with the perspective of a career spent reviewing the cases where boundaries and records failed.
John Riggs III, MBA, DC, DIANM — Diplomate of the International Academy of Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine — teaches Medical Error Management, completing his risk trilogy alongside the medical errors prevention course and The Law of Healthcare Malpractice.

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 — and these 1-hour formats are built to answer small named requirements exactly, without paying for hours the checklist doesn't ask for.
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 before building your renewal plan.
At $20 each, these 1-hour courses are the catalog's precision pieces: top a 5-hour basket to the 10% threshold, or complete a 10-hour basket for 20% off. Build the full risk wing in one order — this pair, the ethics courses, and medical errors prevention total 8 hours at 10% off, and adding any 2-hour course clears 20%. No promo codes; discounts calculate at checkout.
Online continuing education in the two disciplines that most reduce professional liability: boundary awareness — the principles and high-risk scenarios of the doctor-patient relationship — and error management, the systems view of how errors arise and how a practice contains them. Both courses run 1 CE hour each, on-demand, with an assessment and instant certificate.
Format. The ethics and medical errors categories carry 2-hour deep dives; these are focused 1-hour courses covering the same territory at precision length — built for renewals that name a small number of risk-management or boundaries hours, and for completing an order exactly. Doctors wanting depth take both: the 1-hour course frames the discipline, the 2-hour course fills it in.
They stand alone — choose by exposure. Professional Boundaries (201) covers the relationship side: the principles and scenarios where the doctor-patient line blurs. Medical Error Management (202) covers the systems side: how errors arise in practice workflow and how to manage them. Both together total 2 hours and pair naturally with the ethics and documentation categories.
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 — and these 1-hour formats are built to answer small named requirements exactly. Requirements differ by jurisdiction in 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.
Courses are $20 per credit hour — $20 each here — and discounts apply automatically in a single order: 10% off at 6–9 hours, 20% off at 10 or more. These 1-hour courses are ideal order-finishers: they top a 5-hour basket to the 10% threshold or complete a 10-hour basket for 20%. Each completion generates an instant PDF certificate with a permanent copy in your account dashboard. No promo codes.
