Nearly 1,500 attendees—alumni, their guests, students, prospective students, faculty and staff—enjoyed Palmer Homecoming 2009 on the Davenport Campus, Aug. 13-15. Alumni attendees earned up to 23 hours of continuing education credits, and there were special tracks for students and chiropractic office staff. A program packed with great presentations featured world renowned keynote speakers Bob Harper, fitness trainer on NBC's The Biggest Loser, NCMIC Group Inc. President Louis Sportelli, D.C., and best-selling author and Wall Street Journal columnist Jeffrey Zaslow. Attendees also took home leading edge advice from speakers such as Frank Sovinsky, D.C., presenting on "The Patient Centered Experience: A Plan for Thriving in Today's Economy;" Thomas O'Bryan, D.C., with "The Neurological and Musculoskeletal Complications of Gluten Sensitivity;" Sarah Farrant, D.C., on "The New Wellness Care for Newborns, Kids and Pregnant Women;" Christine Goertz, D.C., Ph.D., about "Translational Research in Chiropractic;" and Jason Yusavage, D.C., on "Pediatric Adjusting." In addition, nine new members were inducted as Fellows of the Palmer Academy of Chiropractic during Homecoming. (see ad on p. 15)
