Each year, thousands of smart doctors gather for the Parker Seminars, knowing they'll return to their offices better equipped to achieve their practice and life goals. Thousands of even smarter ones go a step further and make sure their C.A.s and family attend the event as well. That's because few doctors work toward those goals by themselves. Being a success as a chiropractor -- and happy as a human being - is a team effort, and the skills learned at a Parker Seminar are just as vital for the people who surround the D.C.

"C.A.s are an important part of the success equation," explains Fabrizio Mancini, D.C., President of Parker College of Chiropractic. "They need to learn the same success procedures as their doctors. And they deserve to have fun doing it!"

In addition to having access to the complete array of programs offered by Parker Seminars, C.A.s have a special "I Care" program that allows them the opportunity to share ideas with others from practices throughout the U.S. and around the world.

"This is a great way for doctors and C.A.s to reinforce their bond as team members working toward the same goal," says Dana Mackison, D.C., Parker Seminars Director. "The program is so popular among C.A.s that many doctors offer registration to the event as a special incentive or bonus for exceptional work."

Dr. Mancini is quick to point out, however, that the success principles taught during the seminar don't apply only to one's practice, but to life itself. "That's why doctors often bring their spouses and children. It's important to expose our children to the principles that will allow them to have more prosperous and fulfilling lives."

Parker Seminars offers an innovative "Kids Club" program for children between 5 and 10 years of age, filled with special entertainment and activities. "Can you imagine how many problems you could have avoided if you'd been taught these simple yet profound steps to success when you were young?" Dr. Mackison asks. Yet, he notes that because of the personalized attention given to the children, enrollment is limited to only 100 children at the January Las Vegas event, and only 25 at other seminars during the year. Early registration is essential to ensure a spot for your child.

Children older than 10 are encouraged to attend the regular Parker Seminar sessions with their parents - making them an educational and bonding experience.

The first Parker Seminar of 2003 is set for January 30-February 2 in Las Vegas and organizers are assembling a program featuring more than 100 special presenters and celebrities - including famous health care speakers and well-known Vegas headliners. It promises to be the most spectacular and exciting event ever held in the chiropractic profession!

"Too often, doctors feel they're out there alone, islands isolated from the rest of the profession," Dr. Mancini points out. "Here at the Parker Seminars, everyone is welcomed without judgment, with pure acceptance. We put aside our differences and disagreements and come together as a united profession. It doesn't matter what school you went to or what organization you belong to. We're chiropractors. We care about people and each other. That's all that matters while we at here at Parker Seminars."

The Las Vegas Hilton was selected for the seminar since it's one of the few hotels able to accommodate the huge turnout expected. It offers more than 3,000 rooms and suites with a wide array of amenities. Parker Seminars has negotiated a special room rate of just $95 per night. To make hotel reservations, call 888-732-7117. Last year the hotels filled up quickly, so doctors are urged to make their reservations well ahead of time.
