I am opposed to the changes, in fact, I believe the BOM should direct more rigorous continued education focusing on clinical content rather than philosophy. To include:

1. X-ray positioning, interpretation and diagnosis.
2. MRI- interpretation and diagnosis
3. Laboratory- interpretation and diagnosis
4. Differential diagnosis of all systems in the body.
5. Clinical research studies- creating and reporting case studies and others.
6. Pharmacology and toxicology- medications side effects and complications seen in the musculoskeletal system and visceral systems. Also to include laboratory markers on how to identify these problems.
7. Nutrition- As we already have this in chiropractic college, we still need continued education on nutrition considerations for alternative medicine.
8. Injection of vitamins and minerals- trigger point injections, IV administration, etc.

We need to continue to push for the advancement of chiropractic as a primary care contact to offer the greatest benefit to our patients health that we can.
