ADVANCED TRAINING
Gordon MUA is a 36-hour CCE-accredited course sponsored by the New York Chiropractic College, and taught regularly in different locations. Gordon MUA covers the history, evidence based scientific basis; evidence based documentation, and practical use of MUA. Unlike other "speed courses," Gordon MUA training requires 4 days of instruction and proctoring to become eligible for a certificate of training, hospital or ambulatory surgical staff privileges and actual MUA proficiency.
With Gordon MUA training, doctors go through all the steps of successful MUA treatment: they secure insurance approval, perform the procedures on patients and provide follow-up care. Only this level of hands-on training and proctoring can prepare doctors for legitimate MUA practice.
ADVANCED MATERIALS
Cornerstone provides complete doctor support with MUA
training materials that are the most current in the industry. Dr. Gordon's
recently published textbook is the standard for education in the Gordon MUA technique
and class materials focus on sound evidence based reference and documentation. Cornerstone also provides procedural
technique videos on DVD,
Powerpoint presentations, MUA literature for facilities and other pain
professionals, as well as patient education materials and patient recruitment
advertising services through an affiliate to help build your MUA practice. As a new addition to the Gordon MUA Training, 4 hours of Documentation and 2 hours of Risk Management are being applied for in each state.
FOLLOW-UP CONSULTATION
A significant difference between Gordon MUA and all other MUA instruction is what happens after training. There are usually a lot of questions, such as: How do I achieve hospital staff privileges? How do I find a facility partner in my area? How do I handle billing issues? How do I educate patients?
With other programs there are no answers. With Gordon MUA there are. Practitioners who receive their certificate of training in Gordon MUA benefit from Dr. Gordon's vast experience in facility relations, the insurance industry, patient education and the many other issues doctors face when getting their MUA programs up and running.
The goal of Cornerstone Professional Education is to offer patients the best alternative pain management care available by providing the resources doctors need to make MUA an effective part of their practices.
"No amount of experience in the office setting will qualify a physician for manipulation of the patient under anesthesia. No hospital should permit the physician to perform such manipulation until he has been observed and has received supervision and the approval of an experienced operator who himself has been previously approved by certification and hospital proficiency standards" (Siehl-Bradford, 1952).
