Virginia chiropractors must complete 30 hours of continuing education every two-year (biennial) renewal period, due by the last day of their birth month, with all 30 hours earned in Type 1 (clinical) activities approved through a sponsor accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education or another organization approved by the board, under the Virginia Board of Medicine (18VAC85-20-235). All 30 hours may be earned online through an accepted sponsor, and the licensee attests to completion at renewal. This page walks through the current requirements — the hour total, the biennial birth-month cycle, what qualifies as Type 1, and reporting and record rules — so you can plan and document your renewal with confidence.

Always confirm your personal obligations with the Virginia Board of Medicine. The requirements below reflect 18VAC85-20-235 of the Virginia Administrative Code.

Virginia Chiropractic CE Requirements (18VAC85-20-235)
Total Hours, Cycle & Birth-Month Deadline

Virginia chiropractors must complete 30 hours of continuing learning activities within the two years immediately preceding each biennial renewal. Licenses renew biennially by the last day of the licensee's birth month.

A practitioner is exempt from continuing competency requirements for the first biennial renewal following the date of initial licensure in Virginia.

What Counts: All 30 Hours Are Type 1 (Clinical)

Virginia requires that all 30 hours be in Type 1 activities. For chiropractic, Type 1 hours are clinical hours approved by a college or university accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE), or by any other organization approved by the board.

Because every hour is Type 1 clinical, there is no separate self-study or non-clinical category to track — each qualifying clinical course counts equally toward the 30-hour total. CCEDseminars courses qualify as Type 1 through our Texas Chiropractic College (CCE-accredited) affiliation and FCLB PACE recognition.

Online Learning & Accepted Providers

All 30 hours may be earned online. Virginia accepts Type 1 continuing learning activities, including online courses, offered by an accredited sponsor or organization sanctioned by the profession.

CCEDseminars is an FCLB PACE-recognized provider (#34015544) affiliated with Texas Chiropractic College, a CCE-accredited institution — so our online courses and live webinars qualify as Type 1 clinical hours for Virginia renewal.

A Note on Special-Topic Requirements

Virginia has previously required brief one-time topics (for example, a one-hour human-trafficking requirement for the 2024–2025 renewal cycles). The Board's current chiropractic CE page lists only the 30-hour Type 1 requirement. Always confirm any current special-topic requirement directly with the Board at the time of your renewal, as these can be added or retired by cycle.

Reporting & Records

You self-attest completion of the required hours on your license renewal. Records are not filed up front; the Board may audit.

Retain all supporting documentation — certificates showing your name, course title, hours, date, and provider — for six years following the renewal of an active license. CCEDseminars issues an instant certificate at course completion and keeps a permanent copy in your account dashboard.
