ICA Member News Update
December 28, 2004
The highly acclaimed Spinal Trauma Certification Program, featuring internationally recognized chiropractic spinal trauma expert Dr. Dan Murphy, will begin its 2005 seminar series at The Harvey Hotel-DFW Airport in
The curriculum for 2005 includes new, referenced state-of-the-art information regarding trauma neurology, mechanisms of vehicular accident injury, current clinical trauma case management concerns, and strategies for documentation of clinical findings and care. All material in the program is developed to be put to work in chiropractic practice to both enhance quality of care and to strengthen the DC’s status in this vitally important segment of the health care marketplace. The 2005 program is being co-sponsored by Palmer College of Chiropractic.
This exceptional ten-module chiropractic Certification program is renowned for its groundbreaking research elements and clinical insights. Together with Dr. Murphy’s distinctive teaching style, which combines extensive experience and intensively focused clinical insights, this program provides a powerful approach to case management and presents opportunities to proactively meet the challenges of spinal trauma care. “This program offers attendees an incredible opportunity to enhance their knowledge and clinical skills along with strengthening their professional strategies for documenting and reporting patient care records,” states Dr. Jeffrey Buller, Chair of the ICA Council on Applied Chiropractic Sciences.
The C.C.S.T. curriculum is designed specifically to address the practicalities of optimal assessment, case management planning, documentation, and reporting in chiropractic practice. It is also now designated curriculum to serve as Year One of the Diplomate in Applied Chiropractic Sciences (DACS) program, which has completed a course of curricular updates and is slated for presentation later in 2005!
The complete 10-module sequence leads to Chiropractic Certification in Spinal Trauma (C.C.S.T.) credentialing through the ICA Council on Applied Chiropractic Sciences. However, doctors may also take individual seminar sessions for continuing education credit and enhanced expertise in areas of special interest. In addition, students are able to attend the program for additional educational benefits while still in school. “The Council on Applied Chiropractic Sciences is proud to be the accrediting organization for this innovative certification program,” states ICA President Dr. C.J. Mertz, “which has provided countless participants with an invaluable opportunity to enhance their knowledge and clinical skills with leaders in the fields of chiropractic practice, research and jurisprudence.” The 2005 program will include a distinguished faculty of team presenters for select topics, including Dr. Charles Davis on Mechanisms of Accident Injury, Dr. James Carter on Accident Imaging and Analysis, Dr. John Maltby on Recordkeeping, Patient Examinations, and Documentation, and Dr. Charles Davis and Travis G. Black, J.D. with special mock trial and deposition during the Chiropractic Jurisprudence session.
