ICA Contributions to CCE Pass $1,000,000
With the ICA's May 1991 contribution to the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE), the ICA's donations to the CCE have surpassed the million dollar mark.
For more than ten years the ICA has been a dependable contributor to the CCE. As a sponsoring organization, the ICA makes an annual donation to the CCE based on the ICA's membership dues.
ICA President, Dr. James Gregg of Michigan said, "We view ICA's financial commitment to CCE as an important moral obligation; one which we at ICA take very seriously."
The CCE accredits 14 chiropractic colleges in the United States, including the six colleges affiliated with the ICA. These six colleges (Palmer College, Davenport, Iowa; Life College, Marietta, Georgia; Cleveland College, Kansas City, Missouri; Life College (West), San Lorenzo, California; Palmer (West), Sunnyvale, California; and Cleveland College, Los Angeles, California), support the CCE through contributions based on student enrollment. The six ICA colleges represent nearly 50 percent of all chiropractic college enrollment in the United States, or 4,936 out of a total of 9,963 students, according to 1991 figures.
The CCE is headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa and is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council on Post Secondary Accreditation.
Many relevant diagnostic signs are not performed deliberately by the examiner or by the patient at the examiner’s direction. They are observed as the patient reacts to their condition. Fortin’s finger sign, Minor’s sign, and Vanzetti’s sign are three examples of this principle.
Spearheaded by burgeoning scientific and clinical research literature, psychedelics have reached a level of media coverage and popular interest that has not been seen for over half a century. By “psychedelics,” we are referring to the unique class of substances that includes psilocybin (the active compound found in so-called “magic mushrooms”), LSD, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), ayahuasca, 5-MeO-DMT, and mescaline – each of which occurs in the natural world (except for LSD, which is a semi-synthetic compound).
While working at the Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque, N.M., one of the primary care physicians stated that imaging every patient prior to receiving chiropractic was not medically necessary. It was at that point I reconsidered the need for the imaging of every patient to avoid malpractice.
