Parker College of Chiropractic Education Launches Recruiting Campaign for Career Changers and Potential Students

Parker College of Chiropractic offers a fresh start for career-building in today’s tough economic times. The chiropractic school provides education in science, anatomy, and alternative medical professions.

(PRWEB) December 22, 2008 - Parker College of Chiropractic announces the launch of a recruiting campaign targeting career changers and other potential students. During today’s economic downturn, when many other options are closing down, chiropractic education (http://www.parkercc.edu/how_to_apply_parker_college_of_chiropractic.aspx) is a viable and valuable step in a new successful career venture.

In times of economic stress, many people continue their education as a means of finding a new career. Parker’s chiropractic school provides new career pathways in one of the fastest growing industries in the country; currently, 52% of chiropractors own their own practices. Parker is a great place to begin anew for people returning from military service, those interested in medical and alternative healthcare professions, and avid learners who want to participate in world-renowned chiropractic research.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Employment is expected to grow faster than average because of increasing consumer demand for alternative health care.” From the same report: “Employment of chiropractors is expected to increase 14% between 2006 and 2016, faster than the average for all occupations. Projected job growth stems from increasing consumer demand for alternative health care.”

The Parker College of Chiropractic education consists of training for a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, as well as a Bachelor of Science in Anatomy and Bachelor of Science in Health and Wellness. Other benefits offered at the chiropractic school (http://www.parkercc.edu/how_to_apply_parker_college_of_chiropractic.aspx) include advanced chiropractic business and practice building courses, clinical experience in the first trimester, a technologically-advanced campus (featuring web-enabled classrooms, lectured podcasts, and wireless access), and an award-winning research facility whose partnerships include Harvard, Yale, the University of Alabama, and other world-renowned facilities. Students at Parker’s chiropractic school will receive clinical experience beginning in the first trimester, including a clinic abroad program.

“I chose Parker because throughout my tour I saw example after example of the vested interest the entire staff takes in each student,” said a prospective student from Hallsville, Texas. “Here, each student has every opportunity to succeed.”

It has now come to light that in 2005. Ahmed Marcouch, a prominent Amsterdam member of the Labor Party, had asked the municipality for a subsidy to bring Yusuf al-Qaradawi to the Netherlands.

Men Dominate Obama’s Cabinet

Sunday 21 December 2008 @ 10:12 pm


There are 5 women and 16 men in Obama’s cabinet. And it’s only 5 women if you count Susan Rice - whose UN Ambassadorship was conveniently elevated to cabinet status by Obama. If you don’t count Rice, then Obama has the same number of women as George Bush had in his first cabinet.

This is Obama’s New Politics? This is pathetic. Barack Obama’s cabinet does not look like America.

And it sure as hell doesn’t look like Spain. The Prime Minister of Spain has a cabinet comprised of 9 women (see photo) and 8 men.

How many more decades will it take before America catches up to Spain?

Bonnie Erbe:

Since women are 52 percent of the U.S. population and Obama’s transition team promised a cabinet that “looked like America,” one would have to say that, in terms of gender, Obama has failed. The stark reality is shown in living color on this New Agenda page link, which sports photos of the Obama cabinet members and makes an important visual point. . .

And then there’s this: “Women’s groups who have been hoping for an historic breakthrough in the numbers of women and feminists in the cabinet are looking at a Cabinet now that has lower numbers of women than the Clinton Administration,” said Feminist Majority Foundation President Eleanor Smeal.

This is the same Eleanor Smeal who claimed, during the general election, that Obama “looks like a feminist.”
