The proposed merger of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners and Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards was approved by NBCE delegates and FCLB members at their respective annual meetings, held jointly in Atlanta, Ga., this year. Per the new bylaws, the new entity takes the NBCE name, with FCLB continuing as a department within NBCE. The federation will continue to enjoy Board of Directors representation on what will be a single, expanded board.

Chiropractic is officially off and running on the high-tech information superhighway. Every Sunday, from 9-10 p.m. EST, over 250 DCs and other interested parties have been tuning into America On-Line's Chiropractic Professional Networking Forum, "Health and Medical Chat."
Like all cyberspace "chats," all you need to network with chiropractors across the country is a computer, a modem, and in this case, be a subscriber to America On-Line. The revolution in communication is here. Discussions with a wide variety of chiropractors is only a phone call away.
Chiropractors on the forum speak on a multitude of subjects, but have organized specific topics by popular vote. On April 9, for instance, clinical rounds (low back pain) were discussed.
Future Sunday discussions will feature:
- April 16 -- Headaches and Chiropractic
- April 23 -- Chiropractic Research: Where Do We Need to Go?
- April 30 -- Scripting Abilities (a possibility)
Bob Dubin, DC, who facilitates the forum, says the on-line Sunday chat gets better each week, as more people come on-line and users get more comfortable with the medium. David Brady, DC, is the co-facilitator of the discussions.
Please join the Chiropractic Professional Networking Forum, every Sunday, 9-10 p.m. EST, on AOL, in the "Health and Medical Chat" section.
See you there.
