The Postgraduate Councils of the International Chiropractors Association meet the constitutional requirements of the ICA to foster the professional and technical development of the doctor of chiropractic and maximize the personal and professional fulfillment of the chiropractor within the traditional principles and values of chiropractic.

Council membership is open to all licensed doctors of chiropractic regardless of their affiliation with the ICA.   Doctors of chiropractic who are not Council members may also enroll in the diplomate / certification programs.  However, to obtain diplomate or certification status and to maintain that status, doctors must be members of that Council and fulfill the continuing postgraduate education requirements as indicated by the individual Council.   

The ICA Councils provide a valuable opportunity for doctors to develop leadership roles in their community. All ICA programs are oriented toward expanding knowledge and expertise in the philosophy, science and art of chiropractic as they relate to the Vertebral Subluxation Complex and its implications for health. For more information on ICA programs and seminar schedules, contact the ICA and/or visit the linked Council pages; currently available details on seminar schedules for all educational programs are available directly through the ICA 's Home Page at www.chiropractic.org .
