DC Runs for Congress in Georgia
Dr. Rosemary Kaszans, a 1979 Life graduate, has recently qualified to run for Congress as a democrat in Georgia's first Congressional district. She is an elected member of the Glynn County Democratic Executive Committee, the 1st vice president of the Glynn County chapter of the Georgia Federation of Democratic Women, and founder of an environmental activist group Glynn Environmental Coalition.
Although Dr. Kaszans is not an advocate of "big government," she says that she is strongly in favor of efficient federal programs. "There is a place in our lives for important government input," she stated. "I also firmly believe we can balance the federal budget, not on the aching backs of our elderly and on the growing spines of our children, but by cutting government waste, aggressively prosecuting fraud and cheating, and by showing wise prudence in defense spending."

Each year since a history conference has been co-hosted by one of the chiropractic colleges. The AHC's journal, Chiropractic History, is a scholarly periodical indexed by the National Library of Medicine in its Bibliography of the History of Medicine.
Membership in the AHC costs $50/year ($20/year for students). Membership includes subscriptions to the journal, Chiropractic History, and to the AHC's quarterly newsletter. The AHC is the only membership organization in the chiropractic profession committed to the scholarly preservation of the profession's heritage.

Recently, members of the Patient Education Club at Palmer College presented two programs on fitness, exercise, and posture screening to employees at Rock Island, Illinois Military Arsenal. The "Fit to Win" presentations take place at lunch time and include discussions on nutrition, exercise, posture, strength training, and chiropractic.
When I graduated from chiropractic college in 1981 and started practice, I heard it all, and very little was positive. “You are a quack; you do not know what a subluxation is; you couldn’t get into a real health care program, so you chose the one that is slightly above a mail-order degree; you have no proof that chiropractic works; Are you really licensed?”, and so much more.

A central challenge in creating our identity is that chiropractic is a method of care, not a technique or procedure. This is an important concept for us to promote. Our patients are treated with lifestyle modification, exercise, nutritional supplements, diet and a whole-body approach to accelerate the natural healing process. We are not simply CMT providers.
The results of a global survey released late last year (2023) unveiled some startling findings among medical and nursing students. The “Clinician of the Future: 2023 Education Edition” surveyed 2,212 students, of which 446 were in the United States, from 91 countries.
