ACC-RAC 2007 theme announced

“Professionalism and ethics” is the theme for the upcoming Association of Chiropractic Colleges Research Agenda Conference 2007 (ACC-RAC 2007), which will be held March 15-17, 2007, in Phoenix, Ariz.

This year’s program will present sessions on topics ranging from professionalism and ethics in academic and research settings, to clinical practice risk management, and academic areas of interest such as critical appraisal and scientific writing. In addition, this year’s program will include a special series of sessions directed to all doctors of chiropractic who are practicing in Veteran’s Administration or Department of Defense settings.

The program will open and close with plenary sessions. The first will focus upon professionalism in practice and in research and the final session will be devoted to the state of best practices development in chiropractic.

A series of break-out sessions covering a wide range of topics will include:

  •  Curriculum Assessment in Chiropractic Education,
  •  The State of Subluxation Science,
  •  Informed Consent in Clinical Practice,
  •  Ethical Standards in Military Health Care (special VA/DOD track),
  •  Professional Ethics in Chiropractic Education,
  •  Sexual Boundaries in Clinical Practice,
  •  Management of the Post-Surgical Spine (special VA/DOD track),
  •  Ethical Conduct of Research,
  •  Case Management through Outcome Assessment (special VA/DOD track),
  •  How to Conduct a Systematic Review of the Literature,
  •  Scientific Writing Skills Workshop,
  •  Critical Appraisal of Scientific Papers,
  •  Ethics of Peer Review of Manuscripts, Abstracts and Grant Applications, and
  •  The Potential Value of Practice-Based Research
The chiropractic profession, through its continued growth, has had to consider a growing need for discussions related to professionalism in practice, academia and research, alongside the need to attend to the ethics of our conduct in these settings. The topics presented here will go a long way toward addressing the information needs of our profession.
