FALL CELEBRATION 2020
While we wanted to celebrate 125 Years of Chiropractic by hosting LIFE Vision Extravaganza / Fall CElebration 2020 live on campus , due to Georgia Governor Brian Kemp ’ s executive order , we were not able to gather in such large numbers this year . Thankfully , we are a community who knows how to adapt .
This year ’ s entire educational program facilitated the participants ’ critical thinking based on information determined as clinically viable to the benefit of patients , including patient communication . These courses clarified , articulated and substantiated the science and art of Chiropractic and their inseparable relationship to human physiology , versus the disease processes . Advanced review of clinical interventions and evidence-based models were discussed .
Attendees were able to obtain CE credits by logging in to a livestreamed , twoday event on Friday , October 2 and Saturday , October 3 to obtain 8 CE hours each day . In addition , participants were given the option to complete up to 20 hours online between Wednesday , September 30 , and Sunday , October 4 , 2020 . If they participated in the two-day livestream and took advantage of the online offerings , they could accumulate a total of 37 hours of CE credits .
