State Approvals
Continuing Education credit is provided by Life Chiropractic College West.
Texas
We were founded in Texas, so every single course we offer is approved by the TBCE for all 16 of your CE hours that are required each year. Yes, you can do them all online, as long as they are 100% live. This is what we do.
Alaska
You only need 16 hours this renewal cycle because of Covid. Any and all of our courses work for you.

California
You can do up to 12 hours as onlince courses per year. Your board is considering allowing all your hours to be done as live online courses in the future, just like you could during covid. Unfortunately that proposal is "in committee" and will probably stay there forever unless you take the action to reach out to your board and tell them to get with the current century.
Colorado
Who is the lucky doctor that only needs to do 15 hours of CE per year? It's you!! We got you covered because each of our courses is 16 hours. If you need fewer than 16 hours just visit our pricing page for instructions on how to handle that. Our policy is that you shouldn't pay for the hour you don't need.

Connecticut
Turns out because of Covid you can also do all but those 2 new goofy hours with us for this renewal cycle. At least one good thing has come from 2020.

Delaware
We got all 24 hours of your CE right here. Of course you won't come around looking until those hours are due in June of 2022. Until then, we will keep the flame lit for you my friends and colleagues.

District of Columbia
You know those hours about communicable diseases (gross!) and LGBTQ requirements? Well we have you covered for everything except those 5 hours. Y'all are alone on those unusual CE requirements and we can't afford to offer them consistently for the 160 docs in DC.

Hawaii
I don't know if we should help you out. You live in tropical paradise, we do not.
Fine. You can do all your hours too, but only if you agree to share stories of how much nicer the weather is where you are while you attend the course.
Idaho
Did you know it's prettier in Idaho than about 90% of the US. It's a fact, because we just said so.
Welcome to the current age Idaho, so happy your board decided you could do live online CE hours like the rest of the civilized world. We got you for all your hours.

Illinois*
Can you believe it is almost renewal time again? All of our courses count towards your mammoth number of required "formal" hours. Thank goodness we start a course every Monday and every Saturday.
​
*Illinois is one of 3 states we provide hours for that counts a CE hour as 60 minutes instead of 50 minutes like nearly every other state does. This means that for IL docs our courses count as 13 hours, whereas almost every other state counts the same amount of material as 16 hours. Visit our pricing page to see how to only pay for the 13 hours of credit you will recieve during a course that is 16 hours in 47 other states.

Iowa
Y'all won't even come looking until 2022 and who knows how many hours your board will allow through live online seminars by that time. It will be at least 20, so we got that handled.
Note to future self, check on this periodically for updates - 8/28/2020

Kansas
Not just an awesome band! Well, you sure have a lot on your plate for CE requirements. Pretty much the only state that has to do more is Illinois, so at least you don't have a license there too! Great news! We got you covered for all of your CE requirements! Yay for many courses!
Maine*
I've been reading Stephen King's Dark Tower series. Your state plays a role, kudos. I know what you want for Christmas in 2021: to have finished all your CE hours with us. Well, unfortunately your board ruined Christmas and they only allow you to take 12 hours. Tell them to catch up to Idaho.
*Maine is one of 3 states we provide hours for that counts a CE hour as 60 minutes instead of 50 minutes like nearly every other state does.

Maryland
Communicable diseases and sanitary procedures for 3 hours, plus diversity education for an hour. No thanks to those topics. Y'all can find those 4 hours in Maryland. Now the other 44 hours you have to get done (you know the ones about topics you have interest in), well we've got you covered there. We look forward to seeing you all in a panic to finish your hours in the summer of 2021. We specialize in panic driven CE hours :)

Massachusetts
Every year, the same old song. March 31 and you need 12 hours of CE credits. Hey, I just thought of something! Why don't you do your CE credits with us? Use the coupon code 12hours and then you only have to pay for 12 hours. Pure Genius!!!

Michigan
So, you get to do 30 hours every other year and only 15 of those can be online. Well, we got you covered for those 15 hours online. How about you spend the other 15 hours that you have to attend a course in person based on what's near you, instead of what you are actually interested in, writing emails to your state board and letting them know that live online CE courses are way better.
Minnesota
You need 20 hours every year. Good news, all our seminars cover 16 hours. The bad news, you are on your own for x-ray hours and professional boundaries. I mean, how much has x-ray technology improved in the last decade? You would know. Also Kudos on being up to speed on the short comings of the statistical methods used to support the Linear No-Threshold Model of ionizing radiation exposure! I'm assuming that's the kind of stuff you are learning since you have to cover x-ray every year. Also, don't be creepy (nailed that hour on professional boundaries for you right there!)
Montana
So, the 407 of you licensed docs enjoying the great outdoors up north in Montana have finally come around looking for a better continuing ed option. You're in luck, you can do all 12 of those hours, each year, for the rest of your life, with us. Mwahahahaha!!!!

Nebraska
You have to do 36 hours every 2 years and only 6 of those hours can be online, your next hours are due 8/1/2022. If only your state board was willing to accept that top universities, like Princeton, have switched to online courses because they are equally as effective as being in person. Oh well, somebody has to live in a state that won't give up "the old days, when I walked to school, barefoot, in the snow, uphill both ways" lol :)

Nevada
You get to do 36 hours every 2 years, and all your hours are due by december of 2024! Your state just dropped PACE approval in mid 2024 thus eliminating all of our courses as CE for you guys. Sorry. We'll start paying the fee for you in 2025.
New Jersey
So we totally don't have a course that covers your 2 hours of state laws requirement. The other 28 hours though, that's exactly what we do. In fact, we do it every single day, live and online. It's almost like we do over 1600 hours of live courses per year. That is amazing. I'm so happy you found us and made your life easier moving forward.

New York
Y'all have some goofy CE requirements. 36 hours every 3 years with the year you are due based upon the date of your initial licensure. So like every month there is a different 3 year cycle of docs with license renewals. That's a logistical nightmare. No worries though, because we create solutions. You can do all your required hours with us. Yes, any of our courses, they all count. It's what we do.
North Carolina
You all get to do 18 hours every year by the last day of the year. Well great news, you have an updated rule where our courses count for all your hours every year forever. Welcome on board!! PS - You totally crushed Nebraska on this!
*Life Chiropractic College West is a not for profit institution.
North Dakota
You are required to complete 20 hour by September 1st each year. Well, our courses are all 16 hours and we do not cover the Sexual Boundaries requirement. This is perfect because you can knock out the majority of your hours with us, and pick up the sexual boundary hours with someone else to finish up those 4 hours. They should only charge your for those hours, because that is fair. It's what we do if you need less than 16 hours.
Ohio
You are all set with us. 36 hours, every 2 years due by March 1st. Next time they are due is in 2022. We can handle all of those hours for you, and none of them are pre-recorded. Don't pre-recorded and on-demand seminars just kinda suck? I have such a hard time paying attention to those.

Oklahoma
Sorry OK docs, we tried. Your state has a one of a kind law that only allows your 2 state associations to provide all of your hours. Given this duopolistic law coupled with the fact that it costs 3x more per seminar date to have a seminar approved in OK vs the next most expensive state in the US it would lose us tens of thousands of dollars a year to offer the partial credit for your state that is allowed. You should lobby your chiropractic board to allow CE providers to be able to provide you with all of your required CE.
Oregon
My wife is from North East Portland. I miss the pretty. I hope the Gorge is recovering well from that fire. Oh yeah, this is a CE website. You can do all 20 of your hours with us. I'm not gonna let down the state where Portland exists (more breweries per capita than any other US city!). It's where I met my wife! Kell's pub.

Puerto Rico
You can do 15 of your 45 hours with us. But hey, if you want to arrange for a vacation for me, I will totally get on board with a trip down to cover the rest of your hours in person :)

Rhode Island
60 hours every 3 years with your next batch due 10/31/2022. You know we will be sending you postcards to remind you. Talk to you in 2022. Oh yeah, you can of course do all your hours with us. You're not barbarians like Nebraska.

South Carolina
We cover 16 of your 18 online hours in every course. Our courses do not count as "live" for South Carolina because your state is one of the few remaining states that says "live" means butt in chair. Enjoy your unwanted trip to a hotel conference room.
For the other 18 hours, we got you covered for everything except the 2 mandatory hours regarding South Carolina rules and regulations. It's not that we don't love South Carolina, it is that we can only handle so many state regs before our minds melt. You get it :)

South Dakota
All 40 of your hours can be done with us as well! Isn't that amazing, you have more options than you even knew about! I look forward to meeting y'all by the end of 2021 when your hours are due.
Utah
What is it like to have 40 hours of CE due every year and only be able to do 10 of them as you choose, online and live with us? You should ask Nebraska. Their state is a bit behind the technology too.

Vermont
We just missed you for this cycle. Sorry, it's a bit of work to build a great CE company. We got you covered for all the rest of time though for all 24 of your hours every 2 years. See you by 10/1/2022.

Virginia
You lot have a fairly comprehensive requirement for hours as well. 60 hours every 2 years! That's almost twice what we have to do in Texas. Fortunately, I plan for such things and we can take care of all of your credits with any combination of our seminars. What can I say except "You're Welcome!"

Washington
My home state. I miss the nature, and not the rain. I made sure that we could cover as many hours as possible for you all and have contacted your board multiple times about their backward requirements to be in person for 13 of your hours. Fortunately Covid seems to be fixing this. So this year you can do all your hours with us. Hopefully this will carry forward for you all!

Wyoming
Only 4 of your hours can be done online. You are even worse off than Nebraska. I shake my head in shame for your state board. Come on man! You can do better than this, the profession deserves better than this. Well for this year only you can do you hours online, at least something good came from Covid for you.
