CHIROPRACTIC HEALTH CENTERS OF NYCC Depew, NY by Dr. Matthew Cote, Director The interns at the Health Center are busier than ever with numerous fairs, regional festivals and patient recruitment efforts. At the Erie County Fair, attended by thousand of people, we hosted our second annual Kids Day America to benefit Camp Good Days and the Kentuckiana Children’s Center. I am proud of the interns’ hard work to make it successful. Educational opportunities are expanding for interns who express interest in diverse practice areas including sports, hospital rounds, and even the military. Windsong Radiology was added to the list of diagnostic imaging centers utilizing the PACS (picture archiving communication system). The system allows diagnostic imaging results and reports to be sent to the Depew Heath Center via the Internet. Seton MRI and Sister’s Hospital have helped create a teaching file regarding commonly encountered lesions. NYCC and Trocaire College have entered into an affiliation in which massage therapy students train alongside interns in the Depew Health Center. This allows patients to be referred for massage therapy services without leaving the facility. Interns direct their patients’ care while interacting with massage therapy students. A licensed massage therapist from Trocaire College supervises the Trocaire students. Since many chiropractors in the field employ massage therapists in their offices, our interns will experience how the two professions working together can benefit patients. Students at the Depew Health Center, together with scores of people from Western NY, donated blood at local Red Cross sites in the area. The Depew Health Center serves as a host twice each year for the Red Cross blood drives. The entire Depew staff and faculty wish the best for all people impacted by the recent acts of terror. Chiropractors in the past few years have been included in hospital teams, military teams, and networks of well-integrated professionals. We continue to prepare chiropractic graduates who are the best trained and most thoroughly informed in the world. Depew Library Expanding by Dr. Matthew Cote, Director Since the Depew Health Center library is an extension of NYCC’s main campus library, the Depew faculty was polled to determine the most appropriate books to carry. NYCC Library Director Dan Kanaley helped solicit input and book reviews. Dr. John Taylor suggested some additional imaging texts on his recent visit to the Health Center. Since the orders were filled the clinic’s library has become busier than ever. In short, the combined efforts of motivated interns and faculty have resulted in an efficient and well-used facility. Recently added texts include such topics as radiology, special imaging, sports injuries and rehabilitation. Our journals reflect interests held by most field practitioners. 12
CHIROPRACTIC HEALTH CENTERS OF NYCC Levittown, NY by Dr. Joseph Pfeifer, Chief of Staff for Clinical Services and Director Things have been quite busy at the Levittown Chiropractic Health Center. Since my good friend, Associate Provost Glenn Fried, left the College and now heads Onondaga Community College’s Community Education and Outreach Services, I currently serve as Chief of Staff for Clinical Services at the College. I very much enjoyed working with Glenn in our effort to implement many curricular and program improvements at NYCC. I join all those who wish him health, happiness and success in his new position. I regretfully accepted the resignations of clinicians Dr. Lana Slinkard and Dr. Michael Perillo. Lana relocated to upstate New York, assists in Diagnosis classes at the Seneca Falls campus, and continues to teach Clinical Psychology to our interns through our distance learning classroom. Michael will pursue career opportunities in public health fields. We wish them both continued success. I am pleased to announce the addition oft Dr. Gerald Berg to the clinical faculty at Levittown. Gerald is a 1996 graduate of National College of Chiropractic where he subsequently taught. We are continuing to develop a new system by which clinicians evaluate interns at our Health Centers. The process will include the use of hand-held data entry devices by which faculty enter performance information into a customized electronic database. It is exciting to see how new technology can be utilized to enhance the process of chiropractic clinical education. Syracuse, NY by Dr. Vincent Loia, Director Syracuse Health Center interns enjoyed NCMIC’s presentation entitled “Starting Into Practice.” The program provided important information to students who will soon be entering a professional world where managed care is an established aspect of the health-care environment. The presentation was video-teleconferenced to other College facilities from the Chiropractic Health Center in Syracuse. The Syracuse Health Center has been busy. James Kowalczyk, M.D. opened a pain management center in the building. Also located in the building is Central New York Dialysis and Hanger Prosthetics and Orthotics, Inc. The prosthetics company treated the interns to a presentation about We approach completion of our first full trimester of internships at National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The College currently has two interns rotating through the chiropractic service under the supervision of chiropractors Dr. Terence Kearney and Dr. William Morgan, and gaining exposure through the hospital’s other departments. In the wake of the recent tragedies that have befallen our nation and grieved so many members of our local community, it has been a challenging time. I offer my heartfelt condolences to those who have been personally touched by the senseless destruction, and sincere thanks to those who helped to ease our many losses. supports, braces and prostheses. Finally, Dr. Colloca addressed health center interns about the “Neuromechanical Approach to Chiropractic and Patient Management.” www.nycc.edu 13
