The Advanced Program is organized together with Options for Animals International and consists of six modules, each consisting of two and a half days. It provides a higher level education in animal chiropractic than the basic course, in which the experienced practitioner can further broaden their veterinary chiropractic techniques. Together with colleagues, participants will develop their case management skills.
Participation in the Advanced program is open to all interested doctors of both professions who have successfully completed the basic certification course. Modules can be taken in any order, and started at any time. Advanced certification can be obtained by successfully completing all six modules, presenting two case presentations at an Advanced Module, participating for three days with another certified animal chiropractor in another practice, and completing an original research project. You may attend the modules working toward an advanced certification, or take them individually for continuing education / professional development. We welcome you either way. Also, since the curriculum is the same as the advanced modules at Options for Animals, USA, you may attend at either location at any time toward certification.
