The Chiropractor’s Role as a Member of the Multidisciplinary Public Health Team APHA - CHC Module 2, Hour 2

In this hour we briefly review how chiropractic health promotion includes more than providing adjustments. Motivational interviewing and different approaches such as OARS and the RULE approach to connecting with patients to gather health related information is discussed.
