Carrick Institute for Graduate Studies

Presents

Accredited Board Certification in Functional Neurology

and

Master of Neurological Science Degree

Portland, OR

Starting May 1-2, 2010

Dear Learner:

Our Graduate School Program in Clinical Neurology is designed to train physicians to serve humankind as specialists in Functional Neurology. Our teaching methodology is designed for the practicing clinician and we know how to make difficult material understandable. Most of all we know how to increase the applications of clinicians in their service to humankind. Our learners reflect a diverse level of experience and education. Clinicians with 1 or 40 years of experience both do well in our graduate school program.

We make your learning experience rich and your applications robust. Plus our learning modules are exciting, entertaining and purposeful. Our program is the largest of its kind with 28 extension facilities teaching clinical neurology in 5 languages throughout the globe. Join the thousands of our alumni throughout the world who make a difference.

801/901: Neuron Theory

Main Objective:

The main objective of this module is to educate the participants on the importance of the study of neurology as it pertains to the practice of chiropractic, as well as to understand the clinical application of neuron theory as it relates to environmental potentials and their effects on the central nervous system. The basic aspects of neuroscience as it pertains to neuron theory will be the center of discussion as to provide a solid foundation for the debutante learner to understand more complex neurological applications.

Module 802/902, Neuromuscular Applications

June 19-20, 2010

Main Objective

The main objective of this module is to discuss and develop a proficient understanding of the relationship between brain activity and muscle tone. Further emphasis will be placed on the structure and function of the motor system in relationship to receptor activation. The relationship between brain/muscle spindle sensitivity/gain and muscle tone will be explored. Methodology concerning brain-based activation of the neuromuscular system will be presented. Pathological neuronal processes will be discussed in relationship to receptor pathology of muscle spindle and joint mechanoreceptor origin. The relationship between chiropractic modalities and the treatment of receptor-based pathologies will be discussed.

Key Concepts:

1. Muscle spindle physiology and central spindle afferent projections

2. Joint mechanoreceptor properties and their central projections.

3. Descending cortical projections and their influences on muscle spindle sensitivity/gain characteristics.

4. Muscle weakness patterns associated with cortical hemisphericity:

a. Pyramidal weakness

Module 803/903 (Peripheral Nervous System)

July 17-18, 2010

Main Objective

The main objective of this module is to review the anatomical and neurophysiological structure of the peripheral nervous system and its clinical implications. Emphasis will be placed on the influences of cortical hemisphericity on the onset and propagation of disorders affecting the PNS. Diagnostic protocols assessing central cortical influences will be introduced. Chiropractic applications in the treatment of peripheral nerve lesions will be discussed in detail.

Key Concepts:

1. Clinical anatomy and neurophysiology of PNS

2. Physiological reaction of peripheral nerves to compression

3. Predisposing clinical factors that increase the susceptibility of nerves to compressive and non-compressive pathologies.

4. The relationship of cortical hemisphericity to the development, propagation and maintenance of various peripheral nerve compressive lesions.

5. The use of 1b afferent stretches in the treatment of peripheral lesions and other manipulative and non-manipulative procedures.

Module 804/904 Spinal Cord

August 21-22, 2010

Main Objective:

The main objective of this module is to review the functional organization of the spinal cord as to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of various spinal cord lesions. Structured methodology will be presented to aid the practitioner in differentiating various clinical syndromes directly or indirectly involving the spinal cord. Emphasis will be placed on the application of chiropractic modalities in the treatment of various spinal cord disorders.

Key Concepts:

1. Clinical anatomy and neurophysiology of the spinal cord.

2. Neurophysiological mechanisms associated with spinal cord lesions.

3. Cortical hemisphericity and its influences on the onset and propagation of various spinal cord pathologies.

4. Motor, reflex & sensory changes associated with the following spinal cord syndromes:

a. Anterior cord syndrome

b. Posterior cord syndrome

c. Lat cord syndromes: both dorsal-lateral and ventral-lateral

5. Neurological examination techniques used to diagnose lesions of the spinal cord.

Module 805/905 Reflexogenic Systems:

October 9-10, 2010

Main Objective:

The main objective of this module is to review the clinical anatomy and physiology of the reflexogenic systems governing muscle tone and posture. Emphasis will be placed on the central brain influences on various reflexogenic systems in the etiology of musculoskeletal disorders ranging from chronic tendonitis to acute sprain strain injuries. Clinical applications will we emphasized using changes in various reflexogenic systems in the treatment of musculoskeletal and non-musculoskeletal pathologies.

Key Concepts:

1. DTR's and their relationship to neurological and non-neurological disorders.

2. Descending reticulospinal integration on DTR's through Renshaw Cell integration.

3. Clinical implications of vestibulo ocular reflexes.

4. Cortical and Cerebellar influences on posture.

5. Relationship of ocular convergence and pupillary light reflexes to cortical hemisphericity

Module 806/906 Autonomic Nervous System

November 20-21, 2010

Main Objective:

The main objective of this module is to review the clinical anatomy and neurophysiological structure of the autonomic nervous system. Emphasis will be placed on the central brain influences on autonomic function as it relates to disease states affecting the autonomic nervous system. Further emphasis will be placed on the structure and function of the ANS in relationship to respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary function and pathology. Autonomic concomitants associated with central and peripheral lesions will be reviewed. Clinical methodology involving diagnosis and treatment of neurological dysfunction of the ANS will be reviewed.

Key Concepts:

1. Clinical anatomical and physiological similarities and differences between the parasympathetic & sympathetic nervous systems

2. Autonomic regulation of heart rate and rhythm.

Student deferment of tuition (Available for 800 Series Modules)

Students enrolled in a doctoral program of study in a health care discipline may attend all modules under the Carrick Institute Tuition Deferment program. The tuition deferment policy is designed to assist doctoral students who wish to pursue graduate studies. Students may register and pay a deferment registration fee of $175 per 15 credit hour module. The student must pay the balance of $200 per 15 credit hour module within 3 years of taking the module or no academic credit will be given. The Student deferment program is interest free. No academic credit will be awarded until all academic and financial responsibilities with the Carrick Institute have been met

Learners who wish to pay for 20 modules in full for the (800) series will receive a

rate of $275 per module to total $5,500. Learners have up to 3 modules to take advantage of this discounted rate. Please note that this rate is non refundable. Credits can be transferred to any Carrick Institute lecture. Registration is available through the registrar's office at 321-868-6464.
