Texas Chiropractic College adds 'Wellness Specialist' program

The certified chiropractic wellness specialist program at Texas Chiropractic College will begin this fall with its first course starting Sept. 24.

To become a certified chiropractic wellness specialist, students must finish all four courses and develop a capstone project. The program for certification is 40-hours and was developed with the help of the American Chiropractice Association (ACA) and the National Wellness Institute (NWI).

Once the course is completed, students should be able to implement evidence-based wellness and primary prevention in conjunction with knowledge of epidemiology, health behavior theory and community health advocacy.

Each program is 10 hours. The schedule is as follows:

Sept. 24: Principles of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention.
Oct. 12: Principles and Apllications of Wellness Coaching.
Nov. 5: Worksite Wellness.
Dec. 3: Applications of Wellness Coaching
