Goal of Recertification:
The re-certification process enhances certified practitioners' awareness and knowledge of the latest research and procedures related to Cox® Technic as well as keeps the referral directory reliable.
"… thank you for a WONDERFUL seminar! I really needed the refresher! I promise myself I will not let it go that long in the future." ~ L. Grgula, DC, Arizona, recent re-certified doctor
NOTE:
Certification in Cox® Distraction Decompression Adjustment & Manipulation (aka flexion-distraction) and listing in the referral directory is a responsibility as is maintenance of the listings as reliable. A patient seeking a practitioner who does this technique does so in hopes of finding a physician to care for his/her spinal condition with this technique on a flexion-distraction table.
The Recertification Process Options:
To attain/retain ACTIVE status on the website, you will do one of the following once every two years (to extend your listing for two years). Choose ONE:
1 - attend one PART 1 OR PART 2 course (12 or 18 hrs) (no new test, only attendance)
2 - attend one PART 3 course (full hours available, usually 12) (no new test, only attendance)
3--write a case report on a case that you treated using Cox® Technic protocols (approved by Dr. Cox et al.) in proper format and include a clear discussion of recent Cox® Technic research outcomes. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO SEEK PUBLICATION in JMPT, J of Chiro Osteo, JACM, etc. Please check their websites for author instructions. If you do not seek formal publication like that, we would like you to consider sharing it via this website. If published on a website, it is not able to be published in a journal, so consider your options before choosing journal or website!
Case Report Protocol:
GUIDELINES
Certificate Form (if you want a certificate)
Release Form (so that it may be published if possible)
Consent to Publish article on this website FOR PATIENT TO SIGN
Consent to publish article in JMPT
Consent to publish article in J of Chiropractic Medicine
Article regarding the writing of case reports by Drs. Johnson (editor of JMPT & JCM) and Green
Maintenance of "ACTIVELY CERTIFIED" Status:
Once you are "certified" or "recertified," your name is listed in the referral directory -- ACTIVE or INACTIVE -- unless you were not re-certified since 1/1/04.
Starting January 1, 2004, anyone who had not thus far "recertified" needed to do so by January 1, 2007 (three years later) or be removed from the "ACTIVE CERTIFIED PHYSICIANS" directory until "re-certified" and placed on the "inactive" list.
After January 1, 2004, the newly certified Cox® Technic certified physician must take at least one course every two years to maintain his/her listing in the referral directory.
After January 1, 2007, all certified physicians must "re-certify" once every two years.
After "re-certifying", the Cox® Technic physician must take at least one course every two years to maintain his/her listing in the referral directory OR write a case report and have it published (website or journal). If a doctor takes more than one course by the end of his/her two years, that is fine, but hours are not carried over. A recertification course must be taken in the last 24 months prior to the last date of the certification.
Examples:
Currently on list in black since 1/1/04 (not RED). Re-certify by January 1, 2007.
Certified in November 2004: re-certify by January 1, 2007.
Certified in November 2005: re-certify by January 1, 2008.
Certify in November 2006: re-certify by January 1, 2009.
IF A DOCTOR WAS NOT RE-CERTIFIED by 1/1/07, he/she is listed on the INACTIVE LIST of doctors until he/she gets re-certified.
