What Are TBCE Required Hours?

The TBCE mandates that all licensed chiropractors in Texas complete a specific number of continuing education hours annually to ensure they remain up to date with industry standards and regulations. These hours are designed to enhance your knowledge, skills, and ethical practices in chiropractic care.

TBCE Continuing Education Requirements

  • Total Hours Required: Chiropractors must complete 16 hours of CE annually.

  • Core Requirements: Out of these, 4 hours must be 2 hours of ethics, 1 hour of documentation, and 1 hour of  risk management. Additionally, at least 2 more hours must be completed live such as one our many live webinar courses.

  • Live vs. Online Learning: At least 6 hours must be completed through in-person or live interactive sessions (Such as our live webinars), while the remaining hours can be completed online through board-approved courses.
