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.
Life University Announces "LIFE in Your City" Nationwide Tour
Life University has announced a nationwide, nine-city tour designed to help the profession help itself. "LIFE in Your City" is a three-day event in each city, and provides elements that will help DCs earn continuing education, allow their patients to hear the chiropractic message from Life University President, Dr. Guy Riekeman, and take part in attracting the next generation of chiropractors.
"We need more chiropractors and we need better patient education," said Riekeman "LIFE in Your City is designed to accomplish both these [goals], as well as providing an incentive to engage chiropractors with continuing education." The program will also serve as a tool to help DCs grow their practices.
LIFE in Your City will commence Thursday-Saturday, April 19-21, in Miami, Fla. The three days will include state-approved continuing education on Thursday, along with a special presentation for patients. Friday and Saturday will be about getting prospective students interested in the profession via dynamic speakers, hands‐on activities and special presentations. Other cities on the tour include Philadelphia, San Diego, Orlando, Milwaukee, Columbus (Ohio), Los Angeles, Tampa and Denver.
The nine-city tour will take place over a two-year period, concluding in April 2014. Additional cities may be added.
