The Midwest Chiropractic Physicians Coalition is coming to the aid of the Missouri State Chiropractic Association. Upon learning of MSCA's dire financial needs, MCPC is sponsoring a Risk Management Seminar. It is estimated that as many as 1,000 chiropractic physicians may attend this seminar for the benefit of the Missouri Association. The cost of the seminar is only $100 and the speakers are donating their time so that all benefits go directly towards MSCA.

The Midwest Physicians Coalition is comprised of chiropractic associates from five states: Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. Members of the Coalition work together to serve the needs of the chiropractic community.

It is anticipated that this seminar will be accredited for Continuing Education purposes in the states of Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, and Kansas. Credits will be given for 12 hours.

The seminar will be held at Bartle Hall in Kansas City on October 27-28, 1990. The topics to be focused on will include:

Should You Use Cash, Loan or Lease for Equipment Purchases?
Should You Use Cash, Loan or Lease for Equipment Purchases?

Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?

Chiropractic at Risk Globally
Chiropractic at Risk Globally

There has long been an attempt by those who are not legitimate doctors of chiropractic to usurp the title of chiropractor from those who have earned their degree from an accredited chiropractic program. This generally happens in countries where the local doctors of chiropractic have yet to pass legislation requiring a degree from an accredited institution. The result is essentially two chiropractic professions. Nowhere is this danger more pronounced than in Japan.
