Trauma Qualified - Managing trauma patients requires an advanced skill-set related to the injured. Patients in car crashes, on-the-job injuries, sports, and slip and fall injuries typically require advanced spinal and connective tissue pathology training. To fully understand these types of injuries, an in-depth understanding of the physiology is necessary to create an accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment plan. Many of these cases also require collaboration with medical specialists, and this training gives you the tools of a peer in the triage process. Cleveland University - Kansas City, College of Chiropractic courses co-credentialled through State University of New York, Jacob’s School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, 2024
Hospital Based Spine Care Qualified - Credentialed in hospital protocols, emergency room protocols, acute and chronic patient triage inclusive of MRI spine interpretation, spinal biomechanical engineering, head trauma, concussion, mild traumatic and traumatic brain injuries. Cleveland University - Kansas City, College of Chiropractic courses co-credentialled through State University of New York, Jacob’s School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, 2024
MRI Interpretation Qualified - Accurately interpreting MRI images is integral to every practice that manages musculoskeletal pathology. Considering there is significant reported error rate in general radiologists in accurately the morphology of the spine, it is incumbent on the individual practitioner to be competent in verifying the conclusion of the radiologist. The goal is to create an accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment plan, which can only be done with an accurate interpretation. This skill-set is a requirement when collaborating with medical practitioners and in the medical-legal arena.Cleveland University - Kansas City, College of Chiropractic courses co-credentialled through State University of New York, Jacob’s School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, 2024
Primary Spine Care Qualified - Primary Spine Care means being the first referral option for spine care instances other than fracture, tumor, or infection. The clinically excellent chiropractor in a best practice model inclusive of the literature is the ideal scenario to manage mechanical spine patients. Cleveland University - Kansas City, College of Chiropractic courses co-credentialled through State University of New York, Jacob’s School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, 2024
Evaluation & Management Qualified - Patient intakes are the cornerstone of managing cases. All doctors have a significant amount of doctoral training on current history, past medical history, review of systems, family and social history, accident history, medication, and surgical history. There are unlimited variables; however, skill-sets can be created to narrow most diagnostic conclusions during the evaluation and management (E&M) encounter with the proper training. The management process could include diagnostic testing to conclude an accurate diagnosis or define one. Documenting the E&M encounter also requires a specific set of skills that is perfected over a doctor’s career, and advanced training beyond doctoral training helps to advance those skills. Cleveland University - Kansas City, College of Chiropractic courses co-credentialled through State University of New York, Jacob’s School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, 2024
Documentation & Diagnosis Qualified - Documentation and diagnosing is often a daunting trial and error process. Doctoral training does not account for the ever-changing landscape of state and federal requirements. This qualification gives the "physician practice owner" a complete understanding of what is needed to ensure compliance, that equates to reimbursement and not having to answer to carriers or authorities on "omission of elements" issues. Cleveland University - Kansas City, College of Chiropractic courses co-credentialled through State University of New York, Jacob’s School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, 2024
