Rinzler, D.C., 1st Vice President - ACA Sports Council The earth is shrinking, or at least it seems that way when practitioners demand worldwide recognition of their credentials. Who are these mobile practitioners? Now that there are many more programs educating DC’s, how should the worldwide regulatory community respond to best protect the public? How portable are educational credentials? What does accreditation equivalency based on CCEI Model Standards mean? What role should independent examinations play in establishing credentials? Are disciplinary actions taken in one jurisdiction equivalent to others?

8:15 a.m. Regence C	PLENARY SESSIONS Host: Earl Wiley, D.C. (OH)
8:15 a.m. Regence C	AN FCLB WHITE PAPER “Qualifications to Safely Perform Spinal Manipulation” John J. Triano, D.C., Lead Author // Co-director, Conservative Medicine & Director, Chiropractic Division – Texas Back Institute // Research Professor, Biomedical Engineering Program – University of Texas, Arlington N. Edwin Weathersby, D.C., Vice President - Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards As the efficacy of spinal manipulation has been independently established by a variety of research projects, the number and breadth of healthcare practitioners electing to utilize this intervention has steadily increased. Of primary concern to regulatory boards is the health, safety and welfare of the public. Several years ago, the Federation established a task force to develop standards for the safe performance of spinal manipulation. After extensive research and review, the proposed statement is ready for presentation to our member boards.
8:45 a.m. Regence C	PANEL “What Happens after the D.C. Degree? Board Recognition of Post-professional Education and Credentials” Moderator: Vernon R. Temple, D.C. (VT), NBCE District III Director Frederick R. Carrick, D.C., Ph.D., President – ACA Council on Neurology; Jaroslaw “Jerry” A. Grod, D.C., Director of Graduate Studies and Research – Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College; Lester Lamm, D.C., Dean of Postgraduate Education – Western States Chiropractic College; James Winterstein, D.C., President – National University of Health Sciences How should doctors of chiropractic present their post-professional education so as not to mislead the public? Should boards handle these issues through advertising regulations, or elsewhere? Since the scope of practice is not expanded for DC’s with additional education and training, should a doctor be allowed to present publicly any additional credentials at all? What are the differences in the public’s perception between a diplomate program and a certification course? Should the chiropractic colleges be offering master’s degree programs following the first professional degree? Does NOCA accreditation for specialty councils represent sufficient oversight to help boards determine whether to recognize additional education? Should doctors be allowed to advertise board-eligible as well as board-certified, and does the public understand any of this? Should programs be allowed to present some or all hours as distance education? Should boards be requiring hours in certain specific topic areas, such as ethics, recordkeeping, stroke prevention, sexual boundaries issues, etc?
9:45 a.m.- 10:00 a.m..	*Midmorning Break* – DELEGATE REGISTRATION
10:00 a.m. Regence C	BEST PRACTICES VS. PRACTICE GUIDELINES “Two Approaches and Their Regulatory Impact” Thor Eglington, RN, Msc, Editor-in-Chief & Chair - Guidelines Task Force, Canadian Federation of Chiropractic Regulatory Boards Eugene A. Lewis, D.C., President - Council on Chiropractic Guidelines and Practice Parameters Other panelists: Grayden Bridge, D.C.; Wanda Lee MacPhee, D.C.; Peter Waite, CAE; Alan Adams, D.C., Ph.D.; David N. Taylor, D.C.; John J. Triano, D.C. Chiropractic practice guidelines first hit the radar screen in the early 1990's. Now, more than a decade later, boards rely on a variety of sources, primarily their own understanding of statutes and regulations, to determine what constitutes acceptable practices. Should boards also look to other resources when evaluating either the development of new regulations or assessing practice performance in disciplinary cases? What are the differences between “best practices” and “practice guidelines”? What are the differences and similarities in the approaches taken by the Canadians and the Americans How do they affect regulatory boards?
