Welcome to the New Mexico Chiropractic Association

From the Executive Director

Dear Doctors of Chiropractic:

I can hardly believe another year is about to end! The Holidays will be upon us in just a few weeks and then a new year dawns!! With the new year comes another Legislative Session, more seminars and our 2012 Annual Convention among many other on-going projects! Don't forget to get your membership in and sign up for the convention! I will look forward to seeing you all in 2012!!

Membership

As of this moment, we have 305 members in the NMCA for 2011! That is truly great and thanks go to all the DCs that have joined us this year in support of their profession in New Mexico! We look forward to serving you throughout the upcoming year and into the future! AND, IT IS TIME AGAIN FOR YOUR MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL!! You will find membership information in this packet with the Journal and we hope you will fill it in and stay or become a member for 2012! Your profession needs your support!

2012 Legislative Session

The 2012 Legislative Session is a short session of only one month. We do not know if any health care bills will be allowed during this session. They can only be considered if the Governor puts them on her "Call" list. Linda Siegle, our Lobbyist, will be there either way and will look out for our interests. You will be kept abreast of legislative details as they occur!

Advanced Practice CEU Seminar

This year we have a wonderful AP CEU Program scheduled for March 24 and 25, 2012, at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Albuquerque. This event is being co-sponsored by Labrix Clinical Services, Inc., and Nutri-West 4-Life.

This seminar has been approved for 13 CEUs for BOTH advanced practice doctors and for regular re-licensing! So, come one and all!! We look forward to having you attend this weekend event!

Advanced Practice Training in New Mexico

The last round of Advanced Practice training in New Mexico began this past summer. We have completed six of the seminar weekends and have three left to accomplish! This is our last round of AP training and it is a great group of doctors. We had around 80 in Dr. Taylor's classes and we have 50 in Dr. Richardson's NUHS training.
