Chiropractic Board of Clinical Nutrition Grandfathering Period Extended

The American Chiropractic Association's House of Delegates has approved an extension period for grandfathering doctors of chiropractic as diplomates of the Chiropractic Board of Clinical Nutrition (CBCN). The new deadline is Feb. 3, 2010. Any doctor of chiropractic who has taken nutrition classes offered through an accredited institution may be eligible to be grandfathered into the CBCN until that date.

Guidelines vs. Care: Bridging the Gap
Guidelines vs. Care: Bridging the Gap

What happens when best practices for patient care fall outside what guidelines endorse or insurance will cover? More importantly, how can clinicians ethically and effectively integrate non-reimbursed services that improve function, reduce disability and support long-term outcomes? These are not just clinical questions; they are economic and policy challenges that directly affect practice viability and patient access.
