| GOALS AND OBJECTIVES |
The Council recognizes the importance of nutrition
as an adjunct in the practice of chiropractic. It has set as
its primary goal, the continuing education of the chiropractic
physician as it relates to clinical nutrition.
The Council has instituted a series of on-going programs,
which include:
A. Annual Symposiums - These are held with speakers of national and international
reputation.
B. Regional Seminars - These are provided in concert with our CCE accredited
colleges and usually supported by a Grant from our industry.
These Seminars help provide the opportunity, etc., for the chiropractic
college student and practitioner alike to have dialogue with our speakers
with national standing in the field of clinical nutrition.
C. Nutritional Perspectives - The Journal of the Council
on Nutrition is published quarterly by the Council. Correspondence
should be directed to: 6855 Browntown Road, Front Royal,
VA 22630.
