ICA and FACTS Call for Pediatric Papers
The ICA Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics and the Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Tenets and Sciences (FACTS) invite the submission of papers for presentation at its third National Conference on Chiropractic & Pediatrics. Two 1993 conferences will be held at two locations: October 1-3, in Palm Springs, California, and November 19-21, in Palm Beach, Florida.
Papers must be the original work of the author or authors, properly referenced, and written in an appropriate professional and technical level. Papers should present completed work in a specific area of research or clinical observation and should be related to the field of pediatrics. Previously published papers are welcome. Case studies and literature reviews are also acceptable. Deadline for submissions is July 26, 1993. Papers which are not accepted will be returned to the author.
All papers accepted will be published in the 1993 Proceedings of the National Conference on Chiropractic and Pediatrics, a publication distributed to all conference attendees, chiropractic college libraries, and the chiropractic profession at large. Authors will be given 10 minutes for oral presentation and discussion at the conference closest to their home. Authors (one per paper accepted) will receive an honorarium of $500 and a free registration to the Pediatrics Conference. Authors will be responsible for their own travel and hotel arrangements and expenses.
Submissions must be typed double-spaced, include an abstract, and the author(s) name, address, and affiliations. Submit papers to the following address no later than July 26th:

Deadline Approaches for Sept. National Board and SPEC Exams
Individuals wishing to take the September 10-12, 1993 National Board examinations should begin the application process now to meet eligibility requirements before the July 6 postmark deadline. Late cutoff deadline for application is July 20. Forms received after the late cutoff date cannot be processed
This will mark the second administration of the Special Purposes Examination for Chiropractic (SPEC), an exam designed for licensed or previously licensed chiropractors who wish to be granted such privileges as state to state reciprocity/endorsement, or licensure reinstatement following lapse, impairment, disciplinary action, suspension, or revocation. Use of SPEC scores is determined solely by individual state licensing agencies. SPEC applicants need to be aware that application for this exam is a multi-step process which includes letters attesting to academic and professional credentials, etc. Interested individuals should initiate the application process without delay.
