Dr. Gantzer Presents Florida Chiropractic Association HIV & AIDs Licensing Course
Thursday, December 3, 2020
NUHS-Florida faculty member Jennifer Gantzer, DC, MS, recently
taught the first-year chiropractic graduate licensing course, "HIV
& AIDS: A Complementary & Alternative Medicine (CAMS)
Approach," during the Florida Chiropractic Association's (FCA's)
Southwest Regional Convention in Naples, Fla.
The course presented a heavy emphasis on the current
evidence-based practice understanding of the preventative and
therapeutic options of treating the disease.
"Treating our recent grads to humanize an HIV positive patient
without prejudice further supports our superiority in health care
to be both mentors and physicians," said Dr. Gantzer. "The
HIV-positive population exists with existential criticism and
stereotyping that is unwarranted in this day and age of
evidence-based practices. Knowledge is power and we can once again
excel in the health care realm to support quality of life."
Dr. Gantzer is a Clinical Sciences Instructor at NUHS-Florida,
and a 2014 NUHS alumna. In addition to her academic distinctions,
she is board member of the Pinellas County Chiropractic Society
(PCCS), as well as their 2021 President-elect. Dr. Gantzer is a
member of the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), the Florida
Chiropractic Association (FCA), and a member of the American
Nutrition Association (ANA).
