Understanding TBCE Required Hours for Chiropractic Continuing Education
If you are a chiropractor practicing in Texas, meeting your Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners (TBCE) required hours for chiropractic continuing education (CE) is essential to maintaining your license. This article will provide a comprehensive overview of the TBCE required hours, ensuring you stay compliant while maximizing your professional growth.
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.
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.
The TBCE requires that all CE courses be approved by a Chiropractic CE provider, such as CCEDseminars. Topics often include:
Neurology
X-ray and imaging

CE hours must be completed by the end of each license renewal cycle. Failure to meet these requirements may result in penalties, including fines or suspension of your license. Please see our state specific requirements.
To make meeting TBCE required hours easier, choose a trusted provider offering approved courses tailored to your needs. Platforms like CCEDseminars provide flexible online and live options to help you stay compliant and elevate your practice.
By understanding and planning for your TBCE required hours, you can maintain your license and continue to deliver exceptional care to your patients.
