Dr. Clay McDonald, former provost of Texas Chiropractic College, is the new president of Logan College of Chiropractic / University Programs, succeeding longtime president Dr. George Goodman effective March 1, 2013. Dr. Goodman, who took over the helm at Logan in 1993, announced his retirement from the college in late 2012. Dr. Goodman leaves Logan after more than 40 years as a faculty member / administrator.
"We are delighted Dr. McDonald has accepted our invitation to join Logan College as president," said Steven Roberts, chair of the Logan Board of Trustees, in a Feb. 2 release announcing the news. "Our board, with input from students, faculty, administrators and alumni, conducted a thorough search and reviewed many outstanding candidates for the position. Dr. McDonald is uniquely suited to continue Logan's outstanding leadership position in the field of chiropractic education."
A Logan alumnus, Dr. McDonald also attained a master's degree in business administration from St. Ambrose University and a law degree from Valparaiso University. Prior to taking the position of provost at Texas Chiropractic College, he served in administrative positions at both New York Chiropractic College (dean of academic affairs and executive vice president) and Palmer College of Chiropractic (several positions including vice chancellor for strategic development).
"I am humbled by the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Logan's past leaders," said Dr. McDonald, who technically assumed the presidency from Dr. Carl W. Saubert, vice president of academic affairs, who served as interim president from Feb. 1 (when Logan issued the announcement regarding McDonald's appointment) until March 1. "As an educator and Logan alumnus, I look forward to returning to the University as it prepares new generations of chiropractors to serve the communities and build on Logan's outstanding legacy."
Back pain? Blame the psoas. Seems as if everybody wants to dive headfirst into their psoas at the first sign of trouble with the lumbopelvic-hip region. Perhaps no other muscle is blamed more for causing problems than the psoas. Yes, it is an important stabilizer of the lumbar spine, but it shouldn't be the only one on which you focus. There is another big player on the scene: the iliacus.
Two closely related viruses of herpes simplex, HSV-1 and HSV-2, can infect the human body. HSV-1 mostly infects the gums and skin, although it can cause more serious infection in the brain. HSV-2 mostly infects around the genital area. Infection with the virus can be unsightly and painful, especially for HSV-2.
What’s the simplest way to ensure prompt payment for your claims? Ensure that the insurance payer has no reason to deny them. Submitting a “clean claim” from the start can have a more significant impact on your net collections than any other step in your billing workflow. Net collections and accounts receivable (AR) can improve significantly when claims are clean from the start.
