ST. LOUIS, MO - Two federal grants totaling $840,000 will benefit Logan College of Chiropractic's Learning Resource Center (LRC), technology development, and distance learning projects.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development - Economic Development Initiative (HUD-EDI) allocated $240,000; the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) contributed $600,000. The LRC will receive $640,000 of the funding; the distance learning projects will get $200,000.
"We're delighted to have been selected as a grant recipient by two federal agencies," said Logan President George Goodman,DC,FICC. Dr. Goodman credited Missouri Senators Jean Carnahan (D), and Kit Bond (R) for assisting Logan with securing positive responses to its grant applications. "Senator Carnahan provided particularly helpful assistance with the HRSA grant, and Senator Bond with the HUD-EDI grant," explained Dr. Goodman.
Logan seeks to raise $3 million in funding (including the $640,000 allocation) to renovate the LRC's library and student computer lab.
The LRC houses more than 12,000 volumes, and 35,000 issues of more than 300 chiropractic, medical and scientific journals. The collection also includes thousands of radiological slides; case study files; videotaped lectures and anatomy dissections; and computerized learning software.
The layout for the 2,000 sq. ft. expansion of the LRC will be provided by Cannon Design, a St. Louis architectural firm.
Many relevant diagnostic signs are not performed deliberately by the examiner or by the patient at the examiner’s direction. They are observed as the patient reacts to their condition. Fortin’s finger sign, Minor’s sign, and Vanzetti’s sign are three examples of this principle.
Spearheaded by burgeoning scientific and clinical research literature, psychedelics have reached a level of media coverage and popular interest that has not been seen for over half a century. By “psychedelics,” we are referring to the unique class of substances that includes psilocybin (the active compound found in so-called “magic mushrooms”), LSD, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), ayahuasca, 5-MeO-DMT, and mescaline – each of which occurs in the natural world (except for LSD, which is a semi-synthetic compound).
While working at the Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque, N.M., one of the primary care physicians stated that imaging every patient prior to receiving chiropractic was not medically necessary. It was at that point I reconsidered the need for the imaging of every patient to avoid malpractice.
