FREE NON CE Chiropractic Science Webinar
Date/Time: 3/10 2PM EST
Instructor: Smith, DC, PhD
Join us for an interview of Greg Kawchuk, BSc, DC, MSc, PhD. Dr.
Kawchuks ultimate goal is to develop new strategies and technologies for
the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of spinal disorders and back
pain, the most common of all musculoskeletal health problems. His
research interests focus on defining the mechanisms that initiate and
sustain spinal disorders so that clinically relevant strategies can be
developed toward their prevention or resolution. A major component of
his research involves developing new technologies to assess spinal
structure and function, then using those technologies to evaluate
various clinical interventions. Dr. Kawchuk is clinically trained as a
chiropractor (Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College). His academic
training began in molecular, microbial and cellular biology (BSc,
University of Calgary) and then progressed to biomechanics and
bioengineering (MSc, PhD, University of Calgary). He completed
postdoctoral work at the State University of New York and the University
of Calgary, and then joined the Faculty of Kinesiology at the
University of Calgary as an Assistant Professor with an additional
clinical appointment in Student Health Services. He was recruited by the
University of Alberta in 2004 to join the Faculty of Rehabilitation
Medicine as an Assistant Professor and the Canada Research Chair in
Spinal Function. Dr. Kawchuk is currently Professor of Rehabilitation
Medicine at the University of Alberta.
