B. Prior to approval of an application, the Board may authorize the Executive Director to temporarily approve applications, or amendments to an application, pursuant to the requirements specified by this section and the rules approved by the Board for continuing education programs. Continuing education credits may only be counted for seminars receiving final Board approval.
C. A continuing education program shall offer seminars providing continuing education on those subjects within the scope of practice of chiropractic as well as those technical, professional, and practical subjects that relate to the practice of chiropractic as included in Section 161.8 of this title. Instructors at continuing education seminars may sell products as long as the sale of such products is ancillary to the purpose of the seminar.
D. Each year a chiropractic physician must attend sixteen (16) hours of continuing education. Twelve (12) hours must be within the scope of practice of chiropractic as well as those technical, professional, and practical subjects that relate to the practice of chiropractic as included in Section 161.8 of this title. A maximum of four (4) hours may be non-clinical in nature.
F. Chiropractic physicians who have not been in active practice during the previous year shall be exempt from that calendar year's continuing education requirements. However, prior to returning to active practice, the chiropractor must have attended the required continuing education during the previous calendar year.
H. The Board may waive the requirements for continuing education, if the licensee was prevented from attending by illness or extenuating circumstances, as determined by the Board. In waiving the continuing education requirements for any given year, the Board may require the licensee to make up the hours in the succeeding year as a condition for license renewal.
