Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 16, § 366 - Continuing Education Audits

The Board shall conduct random audits to verify compliance with Continuing Education requirements of active licensees. Licensees shall secure and retain certificates of completion issued to them at the time of attendance of approved Continuing Education courses for a period of four (4) years from their last renewal and shall forward these documents to the Board upon request.

Licensees who fail to retain certificates of completion shall obtain duplicate certificates, from approved Continuing Education providers, who shall issue duplicates only to licensees whose names appear on the providers' rosters of course attendees. The certificates of completion shall be clearly marked "duplicate" and shall contain the information specified in Section 362(d)(6).

Licensees who furnish false or misleading information to the Board regarding their Continuing Education hours shall be subject to disciplinary action. Providers who provide false or inaccurate verification of a licensee's participation may lose their provider status for up to ten (10) years, at the discretion of the Executive Officer. The full board's ruling, as described in Section 362(e), shall be the final order on the matter.

The board or its designee shall not be restricted from inspecting, observing, or auditing any approved chiropractic course in progress, at no charge.

The board, at its discretion, may contact attendees after a continuing education course as part of the board's auditing process to obtain information regarding the quality and content of the course.
