Dr. Guy Riekeman, media projects committee chair, has begun planning for the television docudrama on chiropractic for the Centennial Foundation's Grand Celebration in 1995. Dr. Riekeman has put together a list of elements the docudrama should possess, and will be sending the list to the CCF's board of trustees and media project committee members for their review.
"We have several ideas for the docudrama, but we need feedback from the CCF board and committees. The docudrama could be anything from historical to contemporary scientific to entertaining. We will present a recommendation at the September 18th meeting based on the feedback we receive," said Dr. Riekeman.
Dr. Riekeman's tentative goal is to have a script done by January 1994. From there, a production company will be selected and production will begin in the spring and summer of 1994. Release of the docudrama is scheduled for January 1995.
The Chiropractic Centennial Foundation (CCF) is inviting all organizations and colleges to meet with the CCF board of trustees and advisory committee on Saturday, September 18, 1993 in Davenport, Iowa.
It is hoped that representatives from each college, and from the national, state, country, and provincial associations will attend this important meeting.
"We want everyone to come, regardless if they are members of the CCF or not," said Dr. William F. Holmberg, Centennial Foundation president. "It's important that we all come together and meet, and what a better day than Founder's Day?"
The meeting will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, and will be followed by a dinner. Anyone interested in attending the meeting should contact:

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.
