IN THIS ISSUE.... H AVE YOU PLANNED OUT WHICH SEMINARS YOU AND your staff will be attending this year? With the large amount of seminars for you to choose from all year long, to help you decide where your time and money is best spent, Dr. Fred DiDominico asks, "Attend­ing Seminars: Is it Worth it?" The truth is, it is not an easy task to leave your office (if you don't plan it in advance). If you're a sole practitioner, that can mean forfeiting the thousands of dollars of income that you would've made those days in the clinic—to take off and attend a seminar. Find out from Dr. DiDominico in his article on page 24. And then, to follow up, Dr. Marc Swerdlick helps you with "Maximizing Your Seminar Investment" in his article on page 26. So, once you've decided that you do need to invest in additional learning by going to a seminar, Dr. Swerdlick's advice will help you make sure you get the most bang for you buck! And, speaking of getting the most "bang for your buck," you'll be excited to see the highlights from our very own CHIROPRACTIC '07 seminar which The American Chi­ropractor put on in the Republic of Panama this past February. With over 20 CE credits offered in a three-day forum, along with tropical weather and parties every night, find out what our attendees had to say in our Seminar Circuit recap beginning on page 28. And, if you missed it this year, then mark your calendars to attend CHIROPRACTIC '08 Feb. 22 to the 24th, 2008. It's never too early to start planning! Next, our cover story this month features a chiropractic warrior who's stood the test of time, Dr. Leonard John Faye! Dr. Faye was at the forefront of a movement in the 1980's to suggest a new model for approaching the subluxation in a manner which chiroprac­tors, scientists, and health insurance companies could all accept.... But change is almost always met with resistance. Now, nearly thirty years later, the co-founder of the Motion Palpation Institute, who still runs a fulltime chiropractic practice, reflects on the concepts he presented so many years ago that began a revolution for the chiropractic profession and redefined the subluxation complex. And, of course, since there are always varying opinions on the topic of defining the subluxation, we welcome your feedback. Let us know what you think! Don't miss this interview, beginning on page 32. As always, this issue is bursting at the seams with lots of useful information, so it goes without saying that you'll want to read it all for yourself—then get back to us with your kudos and/or comments! Whatever your feedback, we promise to be responsive! We're working hard to be your #1 most trusted source for chiropractic information. Looking forward to hearing from you! Jaclyn Busch Touzard, BA President Until next month, keep up the great work! For chiropractic,
