In this webinar, we'll be reviewing breaches and fines -- big and small, to give practical takeaways that you can use within your practice to ensure you are in compliance with these new regulations.

Chiropractors need to know and be able to do health literacy to advance their field and to translate evidence-based interdisciplinary content outside their field into their professional practice.
