"This is the place to reconnect and ignite your passion," said Dr. Fabrizio Mancini, president of Parker Seminars and Parker University. "Ask a fellow chiropractor or chiropractic assistant to share their success stories with you because it's those instances and stories that continue to be the driving force for all of us."
While earning continuing education credits, seminar attendees strengthened their chiropractic foundation with a combination of courses to keep their practice up-to-date and thriving, including philosophy, technique, practice procedures, marketing, patient communication, and business success.
"All of you have the same drive and determination to serve and impact the health of your community through chiropractic," said Dr. Gilles Lamarche, vice president of Parker Seminars. "That commonality is what keeps this profession together and maintains the passion for creating healthy people all around the globe."
"The camaraderie within Parker Seminars and chiropractic is one of the reasons I love being in this profession," said Dr. Mancini. "There's no other profession like this that bands together for the health and the greater good of people in the world."
