Welcoming the Fall Season

 

Parents all over the country rejoice this time of year as their children go back to school.  The laid back days of summer are gone and now formal schedules including proper bedtime have to be maintained! In my family, we enjoy this transition of bringing organization back into our daily life.

The transition also applies to Chiropractors. As you may know, this is a license renewal year in Georgia.  So, if you choose to legally practice next year, you have to get your required CE credits by the end of the year. Each year, the GCC offers several CE events throughout the state to help you get your credits. If you are a GCC VIP or Founder's Circle member, then you always have the choice to obtain just your required CE credits all at one event, or attend as many events and hours as you like!

I would like to invite you to our GCC CONVENTION this December 10-11. As with all of our CE events, you will have an enjoyable experience. Though some would doubt that CE could be enjoyable, with GCC it can be done! We plan our events with a spacious, comfortable learning environment in mind.  The atmosphere is relaxed so you can attain the maximum amount of information from our top speakers. The weekend will feature our annual Christmas Party, and by high demand, a casino night on Saturday night! So please, join us for the whole weekend, or if you've already obtained your CE credits, join us on Saturday for an evening of entertainment and celebration.

For many GCC members, this season also marks the time for their annual membership renewal.  You may have already received an email notice from our system, or you may receive a renewal invoice by mail in the coming few weeks. The GCC exists for and because of members like you who provide your support through membership which allows us to continue to provide programs and services which further the mission of the GCC. If you've not been a member in the past, or haven't had an active membership for a while, this is a great time to make the commitment to show your support for chiropractic. If you have questions about membership please contact us. We're here for you. 

I, and my fellow GCC board members, look forward to meeting you soon at a GCC CE Event, philosophy night, or other GCC program. Thank you for your support.

ICA News Update

The Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) is proposing NEW Standards for all accredited chiropractic institutions to follow. We would like you to go directly to their website and submit your comments requesting more specific chiropractic and subluxation language. 
 
 
1.  Review the process by which comments are to be submitted. 
2.  Make your comments. The ICA recommends that you: 
 
Tell the CCE that you support the removal, as has been proposed by CCE in the new version of the Standards, of the "Preface" (on page 11 of the current Standards) and the references to "unnecessary drugs and surgery, primary care and primary care chiropractic physicians" contained in that section.
 
And,
 
The term 'subluxation' and 'adjustment' should be clarified in the new Standards as follows:
 
1. Page 22 ...paragraph C, the term "and" should be inserted between subluxation and segmental dysfunction, instead of the '/'.
 
2. Page 27, the term subluxation should be added to the lead sentence of Metacompetency 7 so as to read: Doctors of chiropractic employ the adjustment/manipulation to address subluxations, joint and neurophysiologic dysfunction.
 
3. Page 27 and in all other places in the document where they appear, the terms adjustment/manipulation must be separated by the term "and" as they are distinctly different procedures. 
 
Small changes in terminology can have profound effects on the meaning and concepts of both chiropractic and subluxation. The ICA was founded to protect and preserve the basic tenets and concepts of true chiropractic. That's why we are here. Thanks to all who will take the time to contribute. 
 
Yours in Service, 
 
George B. Curry, DC, LCP, FICA 
President, ICA
