150-HOUR REHAB LECTURE SERIES
This series will include live and on-line courses.
The rehab diplomate lecture series can apply towards the 150 hours required for the lecture portion for the American Chiropractic Rehabilitation Board (ACRB) diplomate program. The ACRB requires 150 lecture hours which must include: 45 hours of spine, 45 hours of extremity, 48 hours of electives and 12 hours of miscellaneous rehabilitation topics.
Dr. Jonathan Gose DC, DACBSP DACRB created the rehab diplomate lecture series so doctors can finish the lecture requirements in less than 6 months via “12 one-day” modules. The 12-module program is broken down into “8 live” and “4 virtual on-line” classes which include: 4 spine, 4 extremity and 4 elective modules. The accelerated rehab program conveniently allows the doctor to complete all lecture requirements in 12 “one-day” modules, including detailed preparation for the written and oral examinations. This is the 5th year Dr. Gose has taught the Rehab Diplomate Series for those wanting to advance their education and achieve a rehab diplomate.
The ACRB is now allowing Certified Chiropractic Sports Physicians (CCSP) to submit their program hours towards the 150-hour rehabilitation lecture requirement. Most sport physicians (CCSP) will only need “50 hours of spine rehab” to complete the lecture portion for the DACRB program. Dr. Gose has created a specific 4-module spine rehabilitation program (asterisk *) designed for those CCSP’s wanting to obtain a rehab diplomate from the ACRB.
