ICA Council on Chiropractic Philosophy calls for papers Note: I will teaching at the next Fernandez Seminar in Atlanta .. December 6 and 7. The title of this weekend is How to Boost Your Revenue. There are ethical and responsible ways to manage your practice and ways to audit your practice and determine if you are benefiting from proper coding patient management. This weekend will be chock full of ideas. If you have never attended a Fernandez Seminar you can come as my guest for nothing more than a handshake and to say Hi. Call them at 1-800-882-4476 and let them know you are coming as my guest. Bring your staff for the great CA weekend program. They will have to come as your guest but it is well worth the expense. E-mail message this week .. Holiday Events This is the prime season for the chiropractor willing and able to expand community promotions and garner new patients. Some doctors refuse to entertain public relations and marketing feeling it is highly unprofessional and borders on scandalous. Others seek every moment to spread their chiropractic message and tag along with community charity and wellness drives. Whatever is best for you it's time to get started. Many chiropractors are quite ingenious and creative in new patient acquisition. This is especially true during the Thanksgiving to New Years Holiday season. Last week I touched on a few ideas to stimulate your practice to move in this direction. But .. many of you have some wins year after year using little financial resources. Share it with us .. I would like to place it on my webpage under Practice Tips. Some of you have ideas to stimulate your staff who in turn stimulate the practice and therefore feel more comfortable providing their staff their holiday bonus. Some of you have had that extra creative touch to make the practice sparkle with festive wall ornaments and have it tag along with either a Patient and Community Appreciation Day or a Charity Drive offering complimentary evaluations for referrals if they offer a toy or food for the needy. Whatever seems to work for you year after year .. we would like to know about it. Sharing is Caring. I also recommend you tap the energy of your patients. Many belong to religious and civic organizations that have holiday programs. See if you can participate in some way either with a donation or using your office as a conduit to gather funds for them by offering your services. Tap into patient energy with decorative office displays and other ideas that will enlighten and liven your office. Tap into staff energy. Many of them have creative ideas and skills that are ready to burst free if they knew you were interested. Have that holiday staff meeting and design ideas to interest the community as your goal for Health and Wellness. If you have some previous winning programs tweak it to excellence and send it to me and I will place it on my webpage under Practice Tips so we all can benefit.

These doctors are working less and enjoying more of the things they love while maintaining or even increasing their net incomes. Curious? You'll find more information at http://www.chirofreedom.com.

Authors are invited to submit a short abstract of not more than 250 words by December 1, 2003. If accepted, authors will be expected to make a 15-minute oral presentation at the conference and submit the complete paper for inclusion in the Conference Proceedings. Presenters will be responsible for their own travel and accommodations but registration fees to the conference will be discounted for author(s). All papers must relate to chiropractic philosophy and its relationship to the science, art and practice of chiropractic, keeping in perspective the statement rendered by R. W. Stephenson, DC, PhC in his 1927 Chiropractic Text Book: "Chiropractic Philosophy is the explanation of principles and knowledge and art of everything used in Chiropractic." Some suggested topics are: o The clinical utility of Chiropractic philosophy. o How chiropractic philosophy will face the challenge of the millennium. o The vertebral subluxation and its relationship to chiropractic philosophy o Proposing a philosophically congruent model for Chiropractic research. o The philosophical barrier between chiropractic and medicine. o A review of a philosophic concept offered by Dr. Fred Barge. (Papers are certainly not restricted to the above topics but they should follow the intent and purpose of the conference.) DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS: DECEMBER 1, 2003 All abstracts should be e-mailed to Dr. Eric Russell at beaconchiro@koyote.com or faxed to him at 903-886-3177. You can also fax them to the ICA Philosophy Council office at 703-351-7893. Abstracts will be re-viewed by a Review Committee and authors of accepted papers will be notified by December 22, 2003. Complete papers will be due no later than February 23, 2004.
