The ACC-RAC 2004 conference is scheduled for March 11-14 at the Alexis Park Resort in Las Vegas, Nev. This event combines the Association of Chiropractic Colleges (ACC) annual meeting, which emphasizes educational structure, administration and teaching, and the Research Agenda Conference (RAC), which focuses on the development of scientific knowledge, skills and attitudes.
The 2004 conference showcases the 11th annual meeting of the ACC and RAC's 9th annual meeting. The conference is jointly sponsored by the ACC, the Bureau of Health Professions of the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration, and the National Institute of Health's National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), through the Consortial Center for Chiropractic Research.
The theme of this year's meeting is "Best Practices," with multifaceted presentations and discussion groups centered around this topic. An exciting emphasis of this year's meeting is original research in the areas of educational practice, basic science, clinical science, and health services. Platform presentations will be augmented with interactive poster sessions - attendees will be able to talk directly with the individuals about their research. Additionally, numerous experts from previous RAC and ACC meetings will be involved in plenary presentations, breakouts, and small workshop sessions.
The deadline to register for ACC-RAC 2004 is Jan. 30. Program information and the registration form can be found at www.c3r.org/accrac04.
