ICA’s Council on Wellness Science to launch certification program

ICA’s newly chartered Council on Wellness Science will launch a postgraduate certification program in chiropractic and wellness starting September 25-26, 2004, in San Francisco.

Co-sponsored by Life Chiropractic College West, this research- and science-based program will offer practitioners exploration of prevention, wellness and chiropractic’s role in health and healing.

“This is, without any doubt, chiropractic’s most exciting new frontier because it addresses head on the most vital and compelling health issues of our era,” said ICA President Dr. CJ Mertz. “Organized by Dr. James Chestnut, this new program is anchored in chiropractic’s neurological focus, but takes our understanding of the global impact of the nervous system to an all new level, fully based and referenced in the research record.”

The new Wellness Certification Program involves four on-site modules dealing with chiropractic and the subluxation, wellness nutrition, exercise and fitness and stress management and also includes four in-depth home-study components that require designated reading and written submissions to fulfill the learning goals of those at — home segments.

“This program will equip the DC with cutting edge strategies and information to be the most effective influence for health in their communities and an invaluable wellness resource for their patients,” said Chestnut. “This unique program is designed to make participants the evidence-based wellness experts for their communities. This series is built upon the research record and brings together all of the elements necessary to act in the wellness realm with clinical effectiveness, professional confidence and complete integrity,” said Dr. Chestnut.

More information on this program is available through the ICA.
