§ 12-215-113 — Continuing education

It is hereby expressly declared to be the
purpose of this section to provide for an increase in the annual scientific
educational requirements of licensed Colorado chiropractors. Every two years, each
licensed Colorado chiropractor in active practice within the state of Colorado shall
complete thirty hours of scientific clinics, forums, or chiropractic educational study
consisting of subjects basic to the field of the healing arts as set forth in section 12-215-106. Each year at the time of its regular June meeting, the board shall prepare
an educational schedule of minimum postgraduate requirements of subjects as set
forth in section 12-215-106 that shall be met by any school, clinic, forum, or
convention giving the educational work, and the minimum standards shall be
complied with by the school, clinic, forum, or convention before the board issues a
postgraduate attendance certificate. Credit hours shall be determined by the board.
Applicants shall apply to the board prior to or after the course and present proof of
attendance and synopsis of the course content for approval of credit hours. This
provision is mandatory in the best interest of public health and welfare and to
provide progress in the field of chiropractic. If any licensed chiropractor is unable to
comply with this section on account of dire emergency and for good cause shown,
the board may waive the requirements of this section.
