NUHS FACULTY PRESENTATIONS AT NATIONAL, INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES
Thursday, April 4, 2019
Two National University of Health Sciences doctor of
chiropractic program faculty members presented peer-reviewed
posters at the international 15th World Federation of Chiropractic
Biennial Congress Convention in Berlin, Germany, and Association of
Chiropractic Colleges (ACC) ACC-RAC conference in Baltimore, Md.,
in March.
Manuel Duarte, DC, presented
"Chiropractic Treatment Variation by Clinicians Within a Randomized
Clinical Trial" at the World Federation conference March 20-23. The
conference brought together leaders in the fields of education,
research, sports and clinical practice from around the world to
discuss issues relevant to the future development and expansion of
the chiropractic profession worldwide.
Dr. Duarte was greeted by former NUHS students now practicing
around the world, as well as doctors that attended lectures he gave
in Israel, the Netherlands, South Korea and Canada. The poster
presentation was well received and generated many ideas and
discussion concerning future research. Jerrilyn Cambron, Dean,
College of Allied Health Sciences and Distance Education, provided
research review, collaboration and assistance for this
accomplishment.
An informational poster developed by National
University of Health Sciences faculty member Dana Madigan, DC, and
student Haley Doherty was also selected in a peer-review process
for presentation at ACC-RAC March 14-16. The meeting is designed to
meet the needs of the chiropractic academic and research community,
and provides a platform for discussion of educational, scholarly
and research-related enterprises.
Dr. Madigan and Doherty chose the topic "Outcome Measures in
Public Health Service Programs" because NUHS students often discuss
becoming part of national public health service programs. "We
thought this conversation would be enhanced by exploring more
regarding the mission of these organizations and how different
health professions meet those needs," said Dr. Madigan, adding, "We
wanted them to focus on improving patient and population health
outcomes." Dr. Madigan presented the poster at the conference, and
they plan to continue work on this project based on the positive
feedback received there.
