Dr. John Stenberg, Dr. Cameron Bearder, Dr. Al Cobb, Dr. Chad Billiris, Dr. Jeffrey Hannah, and Dr. Rebecca Kuzichev sat down to debrief the first day of the DCCJP program.
There was no script, no talking points. What you hear is our live action recap/brain dump of the day.
Stay tuned for these episodes each month as we continue throughout the Diplomate in Chiropractic Craniocervical Junction Procedures program over the next 3 years. This is the FIRST and ONLY behind the scenes look at how the doctors grow through this process.
Takeaways
- The Diplomate Program is a higher level of study and specialization in chiropractic, demonstrating advanced knowledge and proficiency in a specific topic.
- Cognitive dissonance is the discomfort experienced when confronted with conflicting ideas, and it is important to approach it with an open mind and allow for further exploration and understanding.
- The practical application of chiropractic knowledge should focus on improving patients' health and function, rather than solely on structural alignment.
- The upper cervical community can benefit from further development in the areas of science, art, and philosophy to enhance clinical outcomes and understanding. The philosophy of chiropractic is stable but may require advancements based on new scientific discoveries.
- Advancements in science have significantly grown in the field of chiropractic over the years.
- Challenges exist in improving techniques due to the influence of personal experiences and the resistance to change.
- The fallacy of mastery assumes that one's current approach is correct, even if it may be incorrect.
- Openness to change and willingness to adapt techniques based on compelling scientific evidence is essential for progress.
- Learning from others and engaging in conversations with peers can lead to personal growth and new perspectives.
- Documenting thoughts and experiences allows for reflection and continuous improvement in chiropractic practice.
