Welcome to The Academy of Chiropractic

Academy of Chiropractic Clinical Excellence Awards

The following doctors have demonstrated measurable levels of clinical excellence through formally documented academic and professional accomplishments within the graduate chiropractic arena.

Each level of recognition is determined through a comprehensive review of the doctor’s curriculum vitae (CV) and verified achievements. Evaluation criteria include accredited doctoral and post-doctoral academic credentials, professional experience, scholarly publications, community service, teaching or lecturing activities, and professional organizational memberships.

Academic credentials must be obtained through accredited doctoral or post-doctoral programs recognized by a governmental regulatory authority or an established doctoral academic institution.

To ensure transparency, verification, and legal defensibility, each doctor’s curriculum vitae must be submitted and formatted according to the standards established by the U.S. Chiropractic Directory and published on the platform.

The official CV format and credential documentation requirements are available at www.USChiropracticDirectory.com

Publication of the doctor’s CV within the Directory provides a publicly accessible record of credentials, allowing professional verification and linking each level of recognition directly to documented qualifications.

This recognition program is open to any licensed Doctor of Chiropractic who meets the credential documentation and submission requirements.

RULES FOR EARNING THE AWARD: To earn the credential, send your CV to Jess (jbaltrusitis91@gmail.com). It must be in Times New Roman, 12 pts, with a 1″ margin on all sides.
