Julie Schrad, D.C., and Lori Curry, both of
Clinic Capstone Programs on the Davenport
campus, will represent Palmer College of
Chiropractic on the World Federation of
Chiropractic’s Ad Hoc Committee on Practice
Protocols for Practice Abroad. The purpose
of the committee is to prepare a manual of
recommended protocols for doctors of chiropractic
and chiropractic students visiting
other countries on a short-term basis to
provide chiropractic care.
“We look forward to our work with David
Chapman-Smith and representatives from
other colleges and organizations,” said
Dr. Schrad. “Palmer College is the leader
in study/clinic abroad-type programs in
chiropractic education, and we are pleased
to offer our knowledge and experience
toward this effort.”
Given Palmer’s extensive experience through
its Clinic Abroad Program, which is now in
its tenth year, Dr. Schrad and Curry will provide
insight into the various aspects of shortterm
trips abroad from an educational and
clinical perspective. The committee’s goal is
to develop a final draft report by April 2007.
