An international conference on chiropractic clinical education will be held October 26-29, 2002 in São Paulo, Brazil. The event is co-sponsored by the World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC), the Association of Chiropractic Colleges (ACC), and the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE).
The conference seeks to bring together leaders from chiropractic education and practice around the world to discuss improving and integrating preclinical and clinical education. Some of the conference goals are: to define the core clinical skills necessary for tomorrow's chiropractors, how to achieve them in today's chiropractic education, and how to promote a consistent, clinical approach to chiropractic practice at chiropractic colleges around the world.
The conference program directors are Dr. Jean Moss, president of the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, and Dr. Charles Sawyer, senior vicepresident, Northwestern Health Sciences University, Minnesota.
Those wishing to make a formal presentation need to file a paper (500-1,000 words) by June 30, 2002. Everyone attending, however, will participate in the many panel and discussion sessions.
