We arrived Thursday evening and preparing to teach the program on Friday.  We taught the seminar on Saturday and Sunday and then left for the airport again on Monday.  It\u2019s a little difficult to go so far and return so soon, but we weren\u2019t there for sightseeing.  It\u2019s important to improve the quality of chiropractic care people receive by contributing to excellence in the training of doctors of chiropractic.  <div id=\"attachment_924\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/waiting-for-translator.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-924\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/waiting-for-translator-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Paused for translation \" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-924\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-924\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paused for translation<br \/><\/p><\/div>I\u2019m sure that Dr.  Gillman agrees with me that it was an honor and a privilege to participate in the rapid growth of chiropractic worldwide.
