Forward - The Podcast of the Forward Thinking Chiropractic Alliance

🙌🏼🙌🏼

Lacking substance and consistency

Golden nuggets of information in my opinion, but the analogy carries further unfortunately- large amounts of dross and slag / negative culture that isn’t helpful in the mission of getting the most amount of evidence based care to patients as possible by building a reputation of respect and professionalism within the forward thinking conservative care movement. If you disagree and don’t see that as the primary goal of the movement, then you’ll likely love this evidence based social club. This is really only a warning for new grads- you’d be much better served following a group with less far left political leanings (my opinion based solely on the fact that evidence based docs have been kicked out merely for their politically conservative views)- and a group with more moderate and professional culture- Bobby Maybee’s aggressive and explicit personal attacks against representatives from reputable companies like RockTape because they supported a seminar which both he and I strongly disagreed with. As a new grad in about 2014 I was trying to convince my father/preceptor to sort of change his ways and attend the Forward Thinking event... when I was suddenly and inappropriately excluded in a bullied manner from the FTCA based solely on my political opinion and my failure to submit and salute certain of the groups admins. A few prominent members wiser than I advised that I learn to keep my mouth shut to avoid making a scene irrelevant to actual practice... but I couldn’t... and therefore am excluded. At the time as a young doctor I was sort of devastated... until I learned about the multitude of better opportunities out there as far as social media groups go (Evidence-Based Chiropractic Network for one...) and realized I had been in a group where debunked ideas weren’t the only taboo discussion topic. A new doc should never be afraid to voice an opinion or ask a question. I wish the FTCA luck- and hope that their FB page falls flat if it’s the same as it was, but that their seminars and podcasts gain momentum. In regard to their content- caveat emptor.

Great podcast! As a student I enjoy listening to all the speakers and what’s going on in the profession. Keep up the great work!
