This year’s OSCA conference theme is “Connecting Purpose to Passion.” Dr. Marchiori

opens this year’s engaging continuing education program by framing ways we may connect and leverage both our purpose and passion to benefit our individual practices, collective efforts to advance chiropractic in Ohio, and strengthen our profession overall. Dr. Marchiori presents ways that our fundamental purpose to help patients live a healthier life is advanced through our passion and commitment to provide the highest quality of conservative chiropractic care in our clinical practices. He’ll make the case that chiropractic is underutilized and discuss barriers and facilitators to chiropractic becoming a greater role in the healthcare system. In this presentation, Dr. Marchiori discusses the importance of our clinical and public perception research, educational programs, values, and professional community to inform and drive future success.
