Local Chiropractor Receives High Honors

East Earl, PA, May 23, 2007 -- Daniel T. West, D.C., R.C.R.D., F.A.B.C.S., F.R.C.C.M. was recently appointed to the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Advisory Board for Chiropractic Specialists. In addition, Dr. West was promoted to full Professor by American International University for teaching chiropractors, neurosurgeons, orthopedics and pain management specialists pioneering advancements between the medical and chiropractic professions.

The Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons is the most prestigious, exclusive, and oldest medical institution in the world. The British started the first Royal College in the year 1645, and admitted the most famous doctors, who in turn, trained selected but few other physicians, and honored them with distinct titles signifying membership in the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP), as well as the College of Surgeons (MRCS etc...). The following countries have a Royal College: United States of America (U.S.A.), England, Ireland, Australia, South Africa, Canada, Thailand, etc. These are sister colleges and are independent of one another. The Royal College of the U.S.A. emphasizes quality of health care delivery, a commitment to continuing education, and the use of science and art of medicine and surgery to benefit others. Dr. West presented a paper at the recent International Conference on "M.U.A. in Modern Pain Management" and gave the 2007 national written and oral examinations to prospective board-certified physicians.

Congratulations to Dr. West on these international appointments and honors!

Associates of Pennsylvania was appointed president and chairman of the board by the Royal College of Surgeons and the American Council for Board Certification. Dr.West was chosen by these two distinguished medical and educational institutions to create the first specialty chiropractic board certification program in the world. The ACFBC and Royal College of Surgeons is the same body and institution that board certifies the medical professionals in their designated specialties, (i.e., minimally invasive spinal surgery, neurosurgery, minimally invasive surgery and research, and general surgery, etc.).
