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.

For grandfathering criteria, click here. For more information on the CBCN, visit www.cbcn.us, which has information including the organization's bylaws, frequently asked questions and access to the grandfathering application.

Should You Use Cash, Loan or Lease for Equipment Purchases?
Should You Use Cash, Loan or Lease for Equipment Purchases?

Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?

Chiropractic at Risk Globally
Chiropractic at Risk Globally

There has long been an attempt by those who are not legitimate doctors of chiropractic to usurp the title of chiropractor from those who have earned their degree from an accredited chiropractic program. This generally happens in countries where the local doctors of chiropractic have yet to pass legislation requiring a degree from an accredited institution. The result is essentially two chiropractic professions. Nowhere is this danger more pronounced than in Japan.
