Make the Grade
Bring the entire office and have your practice at “gold star” performance Monday morning! We offer doctors of chiropractic 20 hours of license renewal credit, including Risk Management (as well as the Florida Laws & Rules/Medical Errors/Ethics and Recordkeeping/Documentation & Coding hours required for your Florida renewal). Clinical hours are approved in Florida and some 47 other states. CAs and CCPAs can also attend select sessions. We have entire tracks specifically designed for the “new doctor,” front office CA and back office CA, as well as one designed by the International Academy of Clinical Neurology for those wishing to get their neurology diplomate CE; and we’re offering LMT options: six hours of required C.E. or 12 hands-on hours—or attend both tracks for 18 total hours! Add to that 12 C.E. hours for CRTs, courses for LAcs/APs/DOMs, and the RCA Training Program, and we’ve got everyone covered!

John W. Brimhall, DC, FIAMA, DIBAK – “There are miracles still possible in chiropractic daily. This is the greatest time to ever be alive and also the most complicated.

JacqueLyn Bond, D.C. – “With the ever changing and uncertain Health Care System, the Chiropractic office needs to be more Service Oriented than ever before. Have you ever stop doing business with someone or switched health care professionals because of poorly trained staff? I have. This is why the courses I teach covering all types of Communications, Telephone Skills, Appointment Book Scheduling and Collection of Fees for Services Rendered are vital in a system that is becoming increasingly Private Pay. In a technology driven world, we have lost the ability to effectively communicate on a personal level. These courses get back to the basics and will help your office Staff develop the Patient/Doctor relationship needed to grow a recession proof Practice.” Read more…

Pete Whitridge, LMT – “At FCA National, I get to re-connect with my LMT colleagues who work with Chiropractors. The vendors are great! The support of the industry partners is amazing.

We will cover the new Laws and Rules effective July 1, 2012. During the Professional Ethics portion, we will have time to dialogue about current issues that may arise in your practice. Finally we will cover potential Medical Errors that may occur in your office or with your clients.” Read more...
