ORAL PRACTICAL EXAM ONLINE REVIEW – May 6, 2023
A comprehensive “virtual-live” rehabilitation review course has been created by Dr. Jonathan Gose DC DACBSP, DACRB for those taking the American Chiropractic Rehabilitation Board (ACRB) oral practical examinations July 15 and 16. The course being “live” will allow the attendee to interact directly with Dr. Gose during the entire course. Being live, allows you to prepare for the oral exams in the convenience/safety of your own home, with no more costly travel expenses!
Dr. Gose will cover a variety of topics needed for the rehab chiropractor to prepare the exam. Our course covers in detail all of the essential rehab topics and suggested reading materials required by the ACRB. The course also reviews in depth, functional rehab exercises and protocols outlined by the board. Dr. Gose has also created a highly detailed step-by-step “rehab study guide”, which allows the doctor to have a complete understanding of what the board requires of them on test day. During the review, we will cover “all relevant information” regarding the written requirement required by the ACRB as well.
This course is for all chiropractors who are actively preparing to take the rehab oral examinations in 2023, including CCSP’s wanting to take the exams as well. Dr. Gose has been teaching sports medicine and rehabilitation seminars for over 16 years, and has successfully prepared numerous chiropractors for the rehab oral exams for the past 7 years. He is passionate about advancing rehabilitation for the chiropractic profession and this course will prepare you for the examination process.

The rehab diplomate lecture series can apply towards the 150 hours required for the lecture portion for the American Chiropractic Rehabilitation Board (ACRB) diplomate program. The ACRB requires 150 lecture hours which must include: 45 hours of spine, 45 hours of extremity, 48 hours of electives and 12 hours of miscellaneous rehabilitation topics.
Dr. Jonathan Gose DC, DACBSP DACRB created the rehab diplomate lecture series so doctors can finish the lecture requirements in less than 6 months via “12 one-day” modules. The 12-module program is broken down into “8 live” and “4 virtual on-line” classes which include: 4 spine, 4 extremity and 4 elective modules. The accelerated rehab program conveniently allows the doctor to complete all lecture requirements in 12 “one-day” modules, including detailed preparation for the written and oral examinations. This is the 5th year Dr. Gose has taught the Rehab Diplomate Series for those wanting to advance their education and achieve a rehab diplomate.
The ACRB is now allowing Certified Chiropractic Sports Physicians (CCSP) to submit their program hours towards the 150-hour rehabilitation lecture requirement. Most sport physicians (CCSP) will only need "50 hours of spine rehab" to complete the lecture portion for the DACRB program. Dr. Gose has created a specific 4-module spine rehabilitation program (asterisk *) designed for those CCSP's wanting to obtain a rehab diplomate from the ACRB.
