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.
Oops! We Goofed
In the April 9, 2005 issue, we reported that the Palmer Chiropractic University System's Board of Trustees, at its annual meeting in February 2005, had officially named Drs. Donald Kern and Peter Martin as president of Palmer College of Chiropractic and Palmer College of Chiropractic West, respectively. The presidential appointments were made during the board's Feb. 4-5 meeting in San Diego, Calif.
The article, "Palmer, Palmer West Presidents: Interim No More," featured a profile of each new president. However, we erroneously reversed the photo included with each gentleman's profile - the photo of Dr. Kern accompanied Dr. Martin's biography, and vice-versa.
The staff of Dynamic Chiropractic apologizes for this error and any confusion/inconvenience it may have caused our readership or Drs. Kern and Martin.
