Los Angeles
College of Chiropractic Educational
Curriculum
I have worked in cooperation with several Medical Physician's over the years.
When I asked if they had referred to other Chiropractors the overwhelming
response was no.
Upon asking why not, they mentioned they did not know what type of education or
trainingthat a Chiropractor receives.
After educating them, they were surprised of the educational standards that
one must go thru to receive their Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.)
Several Medical Physician's recommended that I educate additional Medical Physicians so they
would have an understanding of the education that we receive.
Please inform your
Medical Physician and share the information below with him.
Sincerely, Brian N. Hardy, DC, LAc, CCN, DACBN
