Hayward, CA, Sept. 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Life West is celebrating after delivering its annual conference, the WAVE, in an online environment for the first time. This year’s first-ever virtual conference included a powerful speaker lineup and opportunities for alumni to reconnect with their alma mater.
“Life West couldn’t be more thrilled about the WAVE,” said Ron Oberstein, DC, president of the college. “After having to pivot quickly to an online format, our internal and external community came together to hit a home run!”
All of the sessions are now available on-demand at ce.lifewest.edu, providing an opportunity for chiropractors to earn up to 20 hours of CE for just $149.
Nine live sessions took place Friday, Aug. 21, through Sunday, Aug. 23, with three speakers taking the virtual stage each day. Life West faculty member Dan Murphy, DC headlined the first day of presentations with a look at spine pain and the chiropractic adjustment. His session focused on the latest research on chiropractic and overall wellness.
Saturday’s schedule was capped off by a presentation from Dr. Oberstein. The college’s leader discussed chiropractic heroes and the responsibilities of vitalistic chiropractors.
Sunday’s live speaker lineup included Claudia Anrig, DC, who spoke about what she sees in her family practice. Among other topics, she discussed family planning and working with patients to guide them through changes, in some cases a year before a baby is conceived.
Members of the Life West administration were thrilled with the event.
“With over 1,100 people in attendance, along with vendors and sponsors who see the bigger picture to support the profession and practitioner, I am so proud to witness how the virtual WAVE changed the playing field,” Dr. Oberstein said. “My greatest gratitude goes to all of our phenomenal speakers, MCs and supporters.”
In addition to the nine live offerings, the WAVE has an extensive lineup of on-demand presentations available, analyzing the science, philosophy, and art of chiropractic.
