Loved this E-Seminar! I love how easy it is to log in and listen to sections if you have a few spare minutes, and refer to the notes section for review. The information presented is on strategies that are easily implemented on Monday morning in your practice and will make a huge difference for you and your patients. I’m excited to register for more courses developed by Dr. Shawn Thistle and colleagues!

Great e-seminar, really enjoyed discussions about the overall perspectives of a patient encounter, not just the treatment itself.

Dr. Eric Brubacher –
The E seminar Mastering the Biopsychosocial Approach was very informative and enjoyable to follow through. Some of the classic cookie cutter processes we go through on a daily basis with patients can be highly enhanced with ideas and concepts from this seminar. Communication with your patient is so important in gaining trust and this program dovetails nicely with your patient interaction. I highly recommend the program.

Dr. Don Fitz-Ritson – January 19, 2026 The E seminar Mastering the Biopsychosocial Approach was well presented and easy to follow. It pointed out key concepts and stressed that communication with the patient was very important for building trust with the patient. All chiropractors should be aware of the ideas and concepts in this E seminar.

I completed the E-Seminar: Mastering the Biopsychosocial Approach: A Contemporary Lens for Chiropractors and found the material exceptionally well-researched and the production top-notch. I found the overall content to be some of the best in the business, making the 4 hours of content engaging while simultaneously ensuring this content can translate to practice. Dr. Thistle assembled an all-star team of clinicians and scientists who walk-the-walk and, in fact, write-the-walk when it comes to biopsychosocial care delivery and conducting research on the topic. The presenters distill complex papers and concepts in relatable ways. This course showcased all that chiropractors can aspire to be in clinical practice through strong and humbling communication, chiropractor-patient rapport building, and interpersonal engagement. The content did not feel intimidating and is the type of professional development I will seek out even in the absence of approved continuing education credit. I cannot recommend this content more to practicing chiropractors as well as advanced trainees who rotate through my clinics.
