Wisconsin Partners With CE Broker
DSPS has partnered with CE Broker to provide a single portal for continuing education for chiropractors. This is currently an optional service if chiropractors are interested in tracking their continuing education. CE Broker also has a course search function where license holders can look for upcoming courses; this list may not yet be comprehensive so it is recommended you reach out to course sponsors to find out all upcoming programs that are available to Wisconsin chiropractors.
SEARCH FOR UPCOMING COURSES HERE
All course sponsors are expected to submit their programs a minimum of 60 days ahead of time through the CE Broker platform. We no longer accept the analog form for course applications.
