On December, 2, 2022 – the Kentucky Board of Chiropractic Examiners sent out their license renewal reminder – see email below.

Remember, you need to complete 12 hours of continuing education – 6 which must be obtained at an in-person event. The remaining 6 hours can be done online. There is nothing that prevents all 12 hours being obtained at a live in-person seminar.

If you need continuing education prior to the deadline, click here or visit https://kac.ce21.com/.

If you were audited: Be sure to upload your CE certificate to the KBCE’s website. Not sure how to do that? Check out our step-by-step guide on uploading your certificate to your profile by clicking here!

You will know if you were audited if you had “AUDITED” in your December 2022 email.


NOTE: It does appear as you move through the renewal, you will have to upload your CE certificates even if you were NOT audited. BE PREPARED EITHER WAY!!

RESOURCE FOR YOU!
