Do you treat children in your practice? This conference is not to be missed by any DC who is concerned with making use of promising and proper healthcare alternatives with our pediatric and adolescent populations. Not only will this teleconference address issues regarding the evidence for chiropractic care in management of specific pediatric conditions, but it will also review:

·         Barriers to accepting new information in mainstream medicine

·         Problems encountered with medical errors and drug side-effects, with special emphasis upon the nonrational use of antibiotics and risks of NSAID medications

·         Stress and interactions with body systems

·         Strength of evidence and the right of the patient to be informed

·         Aspects of integrative medicine

·         Future directions for pediatric research

In short, this conference will provide a strong blueprint for where future efforts of patient care must be directed and provide a strong rationale for doing so. It is indispensable for the practitioner who wishes to be able to fully explain to patients and third-party payors alike the viable healthcare alternatives he or she provides.
