DC Teaching at Medical Schools
Kathy Dooley, DC, recently accepted a teaching consultant position at Cornell Medical College and Einstein College of Medicine.
Dr. Dooley is a 2007 graduate of New York Chiropractic College and is the college's first Master of Science in Clinical Anatomy (MSCA) fellow. She is currently enrolled in the NYCC Finger Lakes School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and plans to "develop her teaching skills at the medical colleges while building a practice in chiropractic and acupuncture," according to an NYCC press release announcing her appointment as an adjunct professor at the two medical colleges.
FSCO Name Change
By an overwhelming majority, the membership of the Federation of Straight Chiropractors and Organizations has voted to change its name to the International Federation of Chiropractors and Organizations (IFCO). The change comes after a board of directors vote to extend the organization's efforts to support straight chiropractors worldwide.
"Our mission and our core values are exactly the same," said FSCO President Shane Walker, DC. "We are still committed to the mission of correcting vertebral subluxations and continue to maintain that the objective of the chiropractic profession is to detect and correct vertebral subluxations because they interfere with the expression of the innate intelligence of the body."
Chairman of the Board Bill Decken, DC, added: "The Board and I agree that in countries where chiropractic does not yet exist, or has a limited foothold, it is prudent to position and define chiropractic as we know it to be without the use of the adjective straight in our name, especially since many in our profession are beginning to attempt to add adjectives of their own such as Chiropractic Medicine."
Funding for Future Health
EHR provider Future Health Acquisition, Inc., reports that it "has received the backing of a substantial seven-figure investment led by Midwest venture capital companies, including funds managed by Bluestem Capital Company." According to Future Health founder and CEO Steven Kraus, DC, "Bluestem is a large Midwest venture capital company that's very familiar with chiropractic, having invested in several high-profile chiropractic companies already. They truly understand the unique needs of the profession."
