Noted Chiropractic Educator and Researcher to Direct New FCER Programs Worldwide; Chiropractic Educator/Author Named New Trustee

Reed B. Phillips, DC, PhD, retired president of Southern California University of Health Sciences and a noted chiropractic educator and researcher, will serve as the new director of international programs and research development for the Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research (FCER). In this new role, Dr. Phillips will provide direct oversight of all aspects of FCER’s global education and research programs and collaborations, including FCER’s new Evidence-Based Resource Center (EB-RC). Dr. Phillips, of Pocatello, Idaho, assumed this new role April 1, 2008. He previously was a member of the FCER Board of Trustees as vice president, and chairman of the FCER Research Committee. His board position will be filled by Ronald C. Evans, DC, FACO, FICC, of West Des Moines, Iowa, also a noted chiropractic educator, author and practitioner.

“Over the past two years, Dr. Phillips has worked tirelessly as a volunteer for FCER,” Charles R. Herring, DC, FCER President, said. “He has been responsible for many new developments in the new direction the foundation has taken. The FCER Board of Trustees unanimously approved Dr. Phillips for this new position. His knowledge, experience and integrity are well recognized by the chiropractic profession. We feel privileged to have a professional of his caliber associated with FCER,” he added.

Dr. Phillips also will be responsible for seeking funding for the foundation through grants and contributions, as well as representing the foundation at various venues. He has been a key advisor in FCER’s efforts in bringing online the worldwide information resource center, DCConsultSM, part of FCER’s EB-RC, which is now available by subscription.

He currently serves as executive editor of the Publications Advisory Board of the American Chiropractic Association. He has written numerous chapters, monographs and articles, and delivered poster and oral presentations worldwide. He also is a regular columnist for FCER in Dynamic Chiropractic. His latest book, Joseph Janse, The Apostle of Chiropractic Education, is available at the FCER Learning Center here. A majority of the proceeds from sales of the book goes toward FCER Fellowships.

Dr. Evans has lectured worldwide in orthopedics and neurology for over 20 years. He is a former FCER trustee, and past chairman of the Iowa Board of Chiropractic Examiners. Dr. Evans was appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Defense to the Oversight Advisory Committee of the Chiropractic Health Care Demonstration Project, Department of Defense. He also is an author of several award-winning orthopedic textbooks. He will complete Dr. Phillips’s term on the board which expires in 2009.

FCER is the chiropractic profession’s oldest not-for-profit foundation, serving the profession since 1944. Based in Norwalk, Iowa, FCER has as its mission to “Translate Research into Practice” by granting funds for research and producing practitioner and patient educational materials including teleconferences, CDs, books and pamphlets. FCER developed the DCConsult^SM web site as part of its Evidence-Based Resource Center, an online source for clinical and patient education information.
