Doctor Christopher Gubbels Receives Certification Credentials From ICA Wellness Science Council
Doctor Christopher Gubbels, of Fort Collins, Colorado, earned the prestigious status of Certified Chiropractic Wellness Practitioner (C.C.W.P.), one of the first doctors of chiropractic to successfully complete this comprehensive postgraduate educational program. Dr. Gubbels was awarded the C.C.W.P. status by the International Chiropractors Association’s Council on Wellness Science on November 20, 2008, having successfully passed a comprehensive final examination following completion of the program’s course work and other requirements.
The wellness certification program offers an extensive post-graduate curriculum of pertinent wellness research, patient care approaches and methods to maximize the clinical effectiveness of chiropractic car in a new wellness paradigm. The program includes evidence-based information in nutrition and natural health, wellness-directed physical fitness and spinal hygiene, and state of mind and emotional health, as well as effective insights for generating and supporting patient lifestyle changes. Doctors also learn advanced approaches to patient wellness assessment, clinical case management strategies for optimal wellness, and recent research findings on clinically relevant lifestyle choices.
“The C.C.W.P. Certification give practitioners practical research and science-based data in a growing field that is increasingly relevant because it addresses important health issues in a context where chiropractors already do excel,” says ICA President, John K. Maltby, D.C., “Those who complete the curriculum build an intensified understanding of the founding philosophic and scientific principals of chiropractic. They are also uniquely equipped to fill an important lifestyle and public health gap in their communities by becoming a sound, authoritative source of evidence-based wellness living strategies.”
The multi-faceted C.C.W.P. seminar program is offered at multiple locations through the International Chiropractors Association (ICA) (visit www.chiropractic.org for program calendar and details). The ICA works in partnership with Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, California, an internationally acclaimed chiropractic college, to present the teaching program. Faculty members include program developer James Chestnut, B.Ed., MSc., D.C., and Richard A. Baxter, B.Eng., D.C., both highly acclaimed for their grasp of the subject matter and understanding of its clinical applications and relevance.
“This Certified Chiropractic Wellness Practitioner credential recognizes Dr. Gubbels’ accomplishments in successfully completing the demanding course work and examination process for this special credential designation,” notes Dr. James Chestnut, who developed the certification program curriculum. “The integral connection between wellness science and the natural and powerful contribution chiropractic care can make to the life and health of every patient are powerful mechanisms for the enhancement of the quality of life for all individuals.”
