For those connected to the computer network, America Online, you'll be interested in the Chiropractic Professional Networking Forum (under the Health and Medical Chat Section) every Sunday, 9-10 p.m. (EST). The CPN Forum is an ongoing fixture on AOL; it's been around for almost a year now.
Drs. Bob Dubin and David Brady, initiators of the Forum, have seen it grow from less than 10 participants per week to over 300. With the input of many DCs the weekly chats are dedicated to topical discussions covering many interesting and challenging chiropractic topics: pediatrics; research issues; appropriateness of care issues; chiropractic graduates' dilemmas; where is the science in health care, e-mail etiquette, and many other timely topics.
Subjects scheduled for July:
July 2: Clinical Rounds -- Headaches
July 9: Chiropractic History -- The Last Hundred Years
July 16: The Party in Washington and the Next Hundred Years
July 23: Pediatric Chiropractic -- More or Less Dangerous than medical care?
July 30: The Dangers of Medical Care Vs. Chiropractic Safety
