Overview
Life West is providing a one of a kind 12 hour CE package featuring some of the best and brightest in chiropractic. Included are all California mandatory topics for re-licensure. In this package we have provided seminars that are relevant, up to date, and in line with some of the most important conversations of the profession to date.
2 hours Ethics, 6 hours Exam/Technique, 4 hours other topics
In this package you will have access to the following courses:
Ethics and Social Safety in Healthcare
Lynn Gerner, DC, FICPA
2 ethics CE hours
This program addresses ethical principles of healthcare as viewed through the lens of race and breastfeeding. There is documented disparity between health outcomes in the Black vs. non-black community. This is particularly visible in the areas of birth and breastfeeding. Dr. Gerner provides information about the origins of racism in the US and causative issues of inherent bias and privilege and how our healthcare system and individual chiropractic patients are influenced by these. Research studies and live interviews are presented to show how these factors lead to high rates of infant mortality, poor maternal health and generational disparity in the Black communities of all socioeconomic levels. Inclusive policies/procedures in the chiropractic office are addressed to improve care for all races and gender identities. Policies and procedures are explained using the AMA’s Nine Principles of Medical Ethics.
Patient Centered Chiropractic: Delivering Quality Care from Start to Finish
Derrell Blackburn, DC, MBA
4 exam/technique CE hours
How do you see your patients?
Patient Centered Chiropractic is designed to explain the significant aspects of delivering quality care, facilitating the healing journey of the patient from start to finish. Each team member in a chiropractic office participates in quality care and delivering the results the patient needs to get from where they are, to where they want to be. This seminar helps you approach care from a biopsychosocial model, considering the full health of the patient.
Chiropractic and the Polyvagal Theory Made Easy & Applicable
Monika Buerger, DC
4 general CE hours
The body's wandering nerve - the Vagus Nerve - has made a huge splash in the world of health and well-being in the past two decades. Join Dr. Buerger as she breaks down the Polyvagal Theory into easy to understand, bite-size pieces to help chiropractors and their staff better understand and communicate the importance of the vagus nerve. Then learn how to apply these principles to everyday practice!
Thompson Technique Cervical Region
Beth Zogg, DC
2 exam/technique CE hours
This course will review the Thompson Technique analysis and adjusting procedures for the Cervical Region. The course is presented by the granddaughter of Dr. Clay Thompson and includes treasured photos and video clips of Dr. Thompson himself. The Thompson Technique is easily understood and provides a method of adjusting that offers greater patient comfort as well as less stress on the doctor delivering the adjustment.
