Accurate medical documentation and coding are not just best practices – they are a critical safeguard for your clinic’s financial health and professional integrity. In today’s regulatory environment, even seemingly minor errors can be flagged as fraud or abuse by government and private payers, leading to audits, penalties, and costly recoupments.

Have you looked? Many providers continue to think if they are getting paid, then what they are coding and submitting for payment is being blessed by the third-party payers. Unfortunately, that is not the case and far too often practices find out the reality of what they don’t know the hard way. In addition, not all records requests are created equal, and it is important to understand what you are looking at when you receive a request letter.

With clear guidelines and educational resources readily available, repeated mistakes are no longer excusable. This course will explore how proactive auditing can help you identify and correct documentation and coding issues before they attract unwanted attention. You’ll learn to recognize common red flags, implement effective monitoring strategies, and strengthen your revenue cycle management to protect your practice from compliance risks.

Sports chiropractic does not begin with a professional team—it begins in the community. This two-hour interactive, hands-on program is designed to prepare chiropractic students,

interns, recent graduates, and practicing doctors to confidently evaluate and care for athletes in the environments where most sports chiropractic actually takes place: private practice, high schools, youth sports, gyms, running clubs, recreational leagues, tournaments, community events, and sidelines.

Dr. Spencer Baron and Dr. Darius Espinosa will combine clinical instruction, hands-on demonstrations, case-based learning, and real-world sports chiropractic experience to teach participants how to move beyond simply identifying where an athlete hurts and begin asking a more important question: What is preventing this athlete from moving, recovering, and performing normally?

The program will emphasize practical spinal and extremity adjusting procedures for the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, as well as the foot, ankle, toes, knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, wrist, and related kinetic-chain structures.

Participants will learn techniques that can be performed both with and without a traditional chiropractic table, an essential skill when working at athletic events, community screenings, training facilities, or on the sideline.

Beyond adjusting technique, the course will address functional assessment, movement evaluation, neurological and myofascial considerations, technology, documentation, communication, referral decisions, and collaboration with coaches, athletic trainers, physical therapists, physicians, and other members of the sports healthcare team.

The goal is not simply to teach more adjustments.

Learning Objectives  

1. Demonstrate foundational spinal and extremity adjusting techniques commonly utilized with athletic and physically active populations, with and without a traditional chiropractic table.

The CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers (CPRO) program trains professional-level rescuers to respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies in adults, children and infants until more advanced medical personnel take over. This course has been recently updated to current International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) guidelines, including the American Red Cross Aquatic Guidelines and Best Practices. Best Practices are based on the results of scientific evidence evaluations and guideline reviews overseen by the American Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council.

The term professional rescuer refers to those with a duty to act. These professions include EMS professionals, nurses, physicians, CNAs, and other healthcare and public safety personnel, as well as those in the athletic training and recreation fields, including lifeguards. Through these courses we’re able to keep you up to date on the latest techniques, so you can maintain certifications and deliver the best possible care in an emergency. Course content includes knowledge and skills for providing emergency care for adults, children, and infants in:

• Rapid Assessment
• Giving Ventilations using a resuscitation mask
• Using a Bag-Valve-Mask Resuscitator (two rescuers)
• CPR and AED (single-rescuer, two rescuer, and multiple-rescuer team response with 4 rescuers)
• Obstructed Airway Care (responsive and unresponsive)

For professional rescuers, CPR and other instruction can be obtained through instructor-led classes (classroom only), or through blended learning classes, which offer you the opportunity to learn online then complete your hands-on training in a classroom setting. 

Learning Objectives

1. Explain the role and responsibilities of a professional rescuer in responding to breathing and cardiac emergencies.
2. Demonstrate proper assessment and resuscitation techniques for adult, child, and infant patients experiencing respiratory or cardiac emergencies.
3. Apply appropriate emergency response procedures for airway obstruction and coordinated team-based resuscitation.

This course continues where we left off in the second session: Patient assessment -Evaluation of the Conscious and Unconscious athlete. Starting with Universal Protocols, we will add specific History-Taking and explore the Secondary Survey and the added Vital Signs for emergency medicine. The two-hour class will be a mix of one hour of lecture and one hour of workshop time. This will enable the students to practice on each other and experience the new tasks before them. The course teaches how to implement proper emergency protocols in line with ACBSP® Position Statements and Florida law. Emphasis will be placed on triage, assessment, and legal decision-making required when assisting an athlete on the field of play. Chiropractors will also explore their collaborative role within the sports medicine team, focusing on risk mitigation and rapid care delivery to support optimal outcomes.

Learning Objectives: 

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Identify clinical signs and symptoms that indicate life threats requiring immediate removal from play.
2. Apply updated evidence-based information regarding the Universal Protocols for CPR and AED on the field of play.
3. Execute assessment emergency to determine the proper course of action for an injured athlete.
