Parker CC to Host Talk the TIC 2011

Talk the TIC is pleased to announce, along with the warm endorsement of Dr. Fabrizio Mancini, that Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, Texas will be the host of the Talk the TIC 2011 National Finals.

This decision comes along with a broad set of growth initiatives for Talk the TIC in 2011. Whereas this competition has included up to five different chiropractic colleges in past years, participation is expected to reach anywhere between 10-15 schools in 2011. Along with increased overall participation amongst schools, student participation within schools is expected to grow at least 25%, bringing in anywhere from 20 to 40 participants per campus. Another major growth initiative targets practicing D.C.’s, as it is anticipated that D.C.’s will extend both morale and support to those students they’ve mentored, provided they understand the context and purpose of the effort.

Parker College of Chiropractic, which just recently hosted the World Congress of Chiropractic Students, is looking to be a catalyst which fosters these growth initiatives. Essentially, what makes this possible is the outspoken support from leaders such as Drs. Mancini, Lamarche and Russell. The excitement they hold as an institution for this undertaking is remarkable. They are bringing their time, talents and resources to the table in hopes of fueling a vital professional interest in the cause.

Talk the TIC is the annual chiropractic health-talk competition which takes place at selected schools. Next year, schools will hold their competition on campus from January through June 2011, selecting a winner who will advance to the national finals. The finalists will present their health-talk to an audience of up to 1,000+ at Parker during student assembly on July 6, 2011. Sponsors and donors to the cause will present cash and prizes at the conclusion of the national finals. The most prized possession of all – The Chiropractic Torch – will be awarded to the Talk the TIC National Champion. The champion will also be engraved on the Champion’s Society Plaque in Sid Square at Life Chiropractic College West, where the competition began in 2007.
