Robert A. Leach, DC, MS, FICC(h), RMCHES, CHC chairperson, made the announcement in an APHA press release.
The series, available in two-hour modules, the release noted, is made possible by a generous grant from the NCMIC Foundation. The webinar content was created by multidisciplinary healthcare professionals including educators, researchers and clinicians in the fields of chiropractic, medicine and public health.
“This webinar will provide the chiropractor with clinically relevant information that integrates the biopsychosocial elements of patient care and addresses national public health priorities,” said Thomas Ventimiglia, DC, FACC (h), CHC Webinar Committee Chairperson. “It will focus on the role the doctor can play in promoting health, guiding health behavior changes and addressing social determinants of health. Finally, it will provide steps the practitioner can take that promote communication, collaboration and cooperation with the mental health and licensed social worker.”
The chiropractic continuing education webinars and credits are administered by participating college(s) and national and state associations. Please contact your college or national or state association for additional information about registering and acquiring continuing education (CE) credits.
