TN CE Requirements


 
 

Tennessee CE Requirements:

***In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, please refer to the TBCE website at: https://www.tn.gov/health/health-program-areas/health-professional-boards/chiro-board.html for the most current information regarding continuing education requirements for chiropractic licensees in Tennessee.***

Doctors of chiropractic (DCs) are required to obtain 24 hours of approved continuing education (CE) each calendar year to maintain their license and remain compliant with the Tennessee Board of Examiners (BOE) rules and regulations.  Tennessee chiropractic physicians may only obtain six (6) of these hours online.  The other 18 hours can be taken at a TCA-sponsored event.  You may visit the TCA’s calendar page at www.TNChiro.com for an updated listing on available seminars.
 
Licensed CT­­­­­­­As and CXTs must submit six (6) hours of approved CE per calendar year.  Currently, online CE is not approved by the Tennessee BOE for CTAs or CXTs.
 
The BOE accepts for license renewal, continuing education courses approved by statute (T.C.A. § 63-4-112) (International Chiropractic Association, American Chiropractic Association and the Tennessee Chiropractic Association), and courses provided by the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards PACE (Providers of Approved Continuing Education) programs that are consistent with RULE 0260-02-.12. However, no courses approved by FCLB PACE on the topics of philosophy or practice-building are approved.
