Do I need a name badge at SCC?

Will I receive session/event tickets?

Most SCC events are “ticketless”, we use event badge systems instead of issuing paper tickets for education sessions. Just present your badge for scanning at each session or SCC event.

However, tickets may be issued for some luncheons/social events.

How are CE credits calculated at the SCC?

Badges are scanned at various times throughout each day.  Continuing education credit is calculated based upon these scan times.

Only sessions denoted as CE sessions will be eligible for continuing education credits.  (See website for details.)  Please be sure to verify your state is listed on the approved CE list.

Will the CE credits earned at the SCC count towards my license renewal?

The Tennessee Chiropractic Association (TCA), sponsor of the SCC, is recognized by the PACE program of the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards.  The current term of approval extends through December 2027.  Please reference the latest list of states that recognize PACE.

CE credit will be applied for in AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, MS and NC.  As approvals are received, that information will be posted here.

If you wish to receive credit for one of these states, or a state that accepts courses offered by PACE-recognized providers, please notify the TCA in advance.

Please adhere to your state’s specific licensing requirements as some exclusions may apply.

How is my attendance verified for my CE certificate?

Your badge will be scanned at each session or event to capture date and time stamp information.  SCC CE information will be uploaded by the TCA to CE Broker for all Tennessee-licensed attendees.*  Only sessions approved for CE will be included on your CE certificate.  Individual continuing education certificates will not be available on-site, but will be available within 14 business days via your TCA account.

*Please allow at least 14 business days and then log-in to your CE Broker account to verify that your hours are reflected accurately.  If you should have a concern or question, please contact the TCA.

Will the SCC provide session handouts?

In a continued effort to minimize paper waste, links to access electronic notes will be emailed to pre-registrants, as permitted by each speaker, prior to the event.*  If no email is received by one week prior to SCC, please email our office at tca@tnchiro.comYou may wish to check your SPAM folder as sometimes the email will go there.  Electronic notes will remain available for download after SCC for a limited time.

*If you wish to have these materials to reference onsite during the sessions please be sure to download and/or print them in advance.
