In addition to Life West’s on-campus Continuing Education (CE) offerings in November, the school is involved in a pair of world-class events overseas. It’s a busy month for CE sessions, one that offers plenty of chances for chiropractors to earn required hours.
In Israel and Great Britain
A Life West contingent featuring President Ron Oberstein, DC, and faculty members Dan Murphy, DC, and Jeff Scholten, DC, will head to Jerusalem to offer a two-day event scheduled for Nov. 7-8 at the Ramada Jerusalem Hotel. The seminar will be held in conjunction with the Israeli Chiropractic Society and also feature opportunities to explore one of the world’s most historic cities. Spots at the summit are still available and can be purchased on the official event page.

About Life West CE
Continuing education is a critical part of any practicing chiropractor’s career. The California Board of Chiropractic Examiners requires 24 hours of continuing education to retain an active license, 12 of which must be completed via in-person training. Life West offers exceptional continuing education classes for chiropractors on convenient CE Saturdays, allowing busy clinicians to fulfill a large chunk of their live hours in one day. Stay current with mandated licensing requirements as you hone existing skills and learn about new and developing methodologies.
