Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass chiropractic licensure state by state. The DCs in Japan must accomplish this nationally, which has proved to be an extremely difficult task. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.
Midwest Coalition Aids Missouri Association
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:
- Risk Management
- Chiropractic Malpractice
- Avoidance of Chiropractic Malpractice and other Chiropractic Litigations
Chiropractic physicians from other states are encouraged to attend this informative and worthwhile seminar.
