Chiropractors provide a substantial amount of care to underserved and rural populations and individuals from many races, ethnicities, and socioeconomic levels. The chiropractic practice is unique in that it frequently involves physical contact with patients of all ages. Therefore, we must familiarize ourselves with the healthcare inequities and disparities to which our patients are subject.
This series of seminars will present several steps that can be incorporated into private clinical practice to help improve the patients’ healthcare experience and address healthcare injustices. A chiropractic office's unique circumstances may lead to situations that challenge legal, practical, and cultural differences between doctors, staff, and patients. This series will give you a better understanding of what professional boundaries and human trafficking are, how to identify a patient who may be a victim of human trafficking, and how to report the abuse properly. The impact of the opioid epidemic on special populations throughout the United States has been immense. As this crisis does not discriminate, it is incredibly important that chiropractors also focus on their treatment as an important component to assist in solving the opioid crisis in their patient population including gravida (pregnant), geriatric and veteran patients.
This series will discuss and summarize how chiropractic treatment can better serve our communities to help combat these current social epidemics happening in today’s society.
