Week 10
History of Chiro Education updated ppt
1919 was the 1st attempt to establish a national board, which failed
The 1965 tests were the first successful and widely agreed upon tests for National Boards
if you passed, you received the title “diplomate”
This is no longer a title that is used
SPEC was for Drs that had been in the wild for quite some time, but were wanting to be licensed in a new state
established 1993 by the NBCE
Montgomery suggests completing boards for all states that you want to practice in, right when you graduate so all the info is fresh in your mind
if you aren’t practicing in that state, keep your license there as inactive, and pay the fee so you have options and don’t have to retake the boards for that state should you decide to practice there later in life
Ie. If you want to practice in Missouri, but maybe also Colorado, take both state boards and hold one inactive for your “just-in-case” future practices
Soon this might not be an issue though, because some states are doing away with it
This definitely still applies to practicing in other countries though
We have to take Part IV in Greeley, Colorado
Where National Board of Chiropractic Examiners headquarters is
Logan was the first non-profit school in 1935
by the 1960’s, all schools had to be non-profit
Accreditation in the 1960’s was either ICA or ACA
the big schools were ICA
Logan, Palmer, Cleveland, Columbia
The 2 accrediting organizations held different standards and prerequisites for their schools
They both wanted to be recognized by the US office of education
They would be eligible for government assistance and its students eligible for student financial aid
The ICA schools had to change a lot of their ways of doing things (professors had to be specialized in the subject they taught, etc.) to qualify, which caused them to have to raise tuition
CCE got full accreditation in 1974 after splitting from the ACA
Most Chiro schools are tuition
There was an increase in standards of schools and prerequisites
1999, pre-Chiro required at least 3 years of undergrad
There are over 170 named chiropractic techniques
according to ACA there are 15 commonly used techniques: (listed in descending order)
Diversified
Extremity manipulations/adjusting
Activator methods
Gonstead
Cox flexion/distraction
Thompson
Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT)
Applied Kinesiology
NIMMO/receptor Tonus
Cranial
Manipulative/adjustive instruments
Palmer Upper Cervical (HIO)
Logan Basic
Metric
Pierce-Stillwagon
Some techniques vary by Geographic region where the school is
Logan offers the most electives
US vs international:
US has larger enrollments
US schools are affiliated with Universities more often
Chiro College enrollment base on site of school:
Large = more than 700
Medium = 350-700
Small = less than 350
The New ACC
All Chiro colleges
Have an annual meeting
Chiro college in Denmark is the oldest Chiro college in Europe
opened just before WWII
Chiro Colleges in Europe only give you a Masters degree
You only have to do 3 things here:
Pass the Program
Get your Degree
Get your License
“The rest is fluff”
Moral Defiance ppt
Today Chiros are licensed by all American states and in many nations
The US government’s agency for Health Care Policy & Research has determined that spinal manipulation as performed by chiropractors is a valuable component of the care that should be rendered to patients with low back pain syndromes
lowest level of efficacy was bed rest and surgery
Highest level of efficacy was chiropractic and exercise
Chiropractors have even ten keeers of the torch of freedom for health care
In the 1800’s, people only went to the hospital as a last resort and to die
all theories and methods were untested
Oliver Wendell Holmes changed that
He became the surgeon general of the US
Benjamin Rush, MD - Heroic medicine
Heroic medicine: sought to release toxins
blood letting was a method
George Washington died after his medical physician let out 32 ounces (maybe more) of blood, attempting to get rid of his “wicked cold”
Teddy Rosevelt as president ordered the food and pure drug
