Council on Forensic Sciences course being offered in March:

Council on Forensic Sciences (CFS) and University of Bridgeport College of Chiropractic 
is being offered starting March 23, 2002.  Ever wonder how you could become better in 
addressing medicolegal issues?  Then this may be the course for you.
Advanced standing is applicable to those who have completed Dr Croft's Whiplash and Dr 
Kenneth Ross' Expert Witness programs. 

The healthcare system requires a focused awareness of injury evaluation, analysis of the 
data, a concise well-written reporting process and an ability to testify on forensic 
conclusions.  Distinguish yourself and your practice through knowledge and skills sets you 
will gain from the forensic experts coordinating the Chiropractic Forensic Sciences 
Program leading to board certification as a Forensic Examiner (DABFP) from the American 
Board of Forensic Professionals.  The ABFP is the only national chiropractic organization 
which operates and administers board certification (300+ hours diplomate) and re-
certification for forensic and impairment rating programs.  The ABFP is a member of the 
National Organization for Competency Assurance (NOCA) and is progressing towards 
reaching a compliant status with the standards set forth by the National Commission for 
Certifying Agencies (NCCA) guidelines. 



This program has been formulated to: 



      .   Develop specialized knowledge, skill, training or experience to provide an expert 
opinion to the trier of fact in matters that exceed the common knowledge of ordinary 
people; 

      .   Increase ability to be retained as an expert witness by opposing parties in legal 
disputes; 

      .   Assist the trier of fact before a case enters the courts; 

      .   Provide expert opinion that is based on scientific or document investigation; 

      .   Facilitate contribution to procedural processes by using science in the search for 
facts in federal, civil, and regulatory matters.
