The International Chiropractors Association (ICA) Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics has announced that beginning this fall, the council’s diplomate program in clinical chiropractic pediatrics (the DICCP designation) will be offered at three locations: Chicago (starting Oct. 3), Levittown, Long Island (starting Oct. 24) and Seneca Falls, N.Y. (starting Nov. 14). The New York locations correspond with the postgraduate center and main campus, respectively, of New York Chiropractic College,which is co-sponsoring the diplomate program along with Palmer College of Chiropractic.
“This is a quality program designed for the doctor of chiropractic who is serious about postgraduate education,” said Dr. Peter Fysh, a senior mentor for the council. “Our goal is to ensure that doctors who get the DICCP credential have the knowledge, competency and skills to care for any child or pregnant woman that comes into their office with the expertise expected of a practitioner board certified in pediatrics.”
The three-year program comprises 30 modules and 360 classroom hours, including a weekend rotation at the Kentuckiana Children’s Center in Louisville, Ky. The program, which the ICA says features a structured, well-defined course syllabus for all three years, is endorsed by both the ICA and ACA Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics.
