You may register for this clinic through Jaime Jackson's website.  Enrollment is only open to AANHCP and ISNHCP CPs and Students.

The Clinic will serve the purpose of providing continuing education to CPs and students coming through the previous training programs to bring them to speed with what is being taught in the new training program and to emphasize key foundational principles that should have been taught previously.  You will gain a more indepth understanding of laminitis - the differences between acute, sub-clinical and chronic laminitis; the relation between navicular syndrome and crooked horses; why 'seedy toe' and 'white line disease' and 'stretched white line disease' are really just symptoms of laminitis - and easily prevented. 

There will be remedial training as well.  For example, AANHCP CPs should never need to see a radiograph to know where the coffin bone is located or in order to know where to safely trim the hoof.  The principles of the natural trim, based upon the research conducted by Jaime Jackson on thousands of hooves, are modeled after the natural wear patterns on the hooves of the wild and free-roaming horses of the U.S. Great Basin.  All students and CPs should understand the relationship between the Healing Angle (H) and Healing Toe Length (HTL) and know exactly how to trim to these findings.  You will always be guessing unless this knowledge is completely understood.

 

In addition, the clinics will also serve to qualify those CPs who are not, at present, field instructors but would like to be able to provide mentorships to students.  Although you must be a CP for one year before becoming a Field Instructor, you may take this clinic at any time.

For students, the clinic will also satisfy the requirement of one mentorship.  For example, if you have completed five of your six mentorships, you may register for this clinic and it will also satisfy the requirement of the sixth mentorship.  In addition, the Step 9 final exam may be scheduled immediately following the clinic in order for students to complete the process in one trip. 

Continuing Education / Step 9 Prep Clinics

In order to eliminate the variation in standards and information taught between those students and current practitioners who came through the old program and those coming through the new training program, all CPs and students from the old program will be required to attend a Continuing Ed Workshop / Step 9 Prep Clinic with AANHCP Executive Director Jaime Jackson by the end of 2011.

Dates for upcoming CE Clinics:

There will be one final CE Clinic in the series to bridge the training of students & CPs from the "old" AANHCP NHC training program with the new ISNHCP training program.  This will be done via webinar format before the end of 2011.

The three day clinics are open to all AANHCP & ISNHCP students as well as CPs. 

Cost for the Continuing Education Clinics

The cost for the CE Clinics in the U.S. are $150 and $200 for CPs and $300 and $350 for students (the lower prices offered for early registration). The reason for the higher fee for students is due to the fact that the clinic satisfys the requirement of a field mentorship.  In addition, we want to encourage ALL of our CPs to come in for the clinics and by keeping the price down, we hope to see everyone attend. The clinic is a requirement for all CPs and field instructors.  If you are a student from the old training program and have yet to finish, you may take the CE clinic at any point after beginning your mentorships, i.e., you do not have to wait until all your mentorships are completed to attend. 

There is no charge for this particular CE clinic to ISNHCP students who have previously attended one of the training camps as it will serve as a refresher for them if they would like to attend.
