Earn CE Hours, Save Big on TCA’s New Elite, Premium Memberships

The Texas Chiropractic Association is committed to providing our members with value. With that in mind, TCA has added two new membership types in 2016 that will provide greater access to continuing education opportunities and, as a reward for your being a member, save you money.

Elite

The Elite Membership is the highest level of TCA membership. As an Elite Member, you’ll receive unlimited access to all TCA-hosted conferences and one-day CE seminars. Tell us the events you plan to attend and TCA will sign you up. Your upgraded $1,100 Elite Membership includes your registration fees (a savings of more than 30%); the more events you attend, the bigger the savings! Elite Members also receive invitations to VIP events. A portion of your dues also will go to TCA’s Chiropractic Development Initiative (CDI), which protects the chiropractic profession in Texas.

Premium

The Premium Membership is a terrific option for doctors who want a convenient and inexpensive way to earn continuing education hours. For only $800, your Premium membership includes a maximum of 18 CE hours (either one full conference registration or a choice of several one-day seminars). Select from 10 TCE-hosted events across the state in 2016 on topics ranging from concussion and Medicare to HIPAA and leg length inequality.

Here is the current calendar of TCA conferences and one-day CE seminars:

• Feb. 26-28 – 2016 Mid-Winter Conference, Overton Hotel & Conference Center, Lubbock (16 CE hours)
• March 5 – Sports Chiropractic Workshop: Concussion – From the Pros to the Joes, Austin (6 CE hours)
• April 2 – Sports Chiropractic Workshop: Concussion – From the Pros to the Joes, Houston (6 CE hours)
