The IONC Grants Chiropractors Advanced Standing Towards both

Registered Nutritional Consulting Practitioner “RNCP”
and
Registered Orthomolecular Health Practitioner “ROHP”

Many chiropractors are interested in earning a recognized designation and expertise in the areas of evidence-based Clinical, Metabolic, Sports and Orthomolecular Nutrition. The recent ruling from the IONC now enables Doctors of Chiropractic to achieve the RNCP and ROHP designation by completing the 100-hour, online, video lecture, Continuing Education program, offered exclusively by the Global Integrative Medicine Academy

Doctors of Chiropractic can now earn the recognized RNCP and ROHP designations and become an expert in clinical nutrition, sports nutrition,  as well as orthomolecular and metabolic nutrition, by completing the six module, web-based program.

  • Completion of the entire program qualifies you to obtain the Registered Nutritional Consultant Practitioner (RNCP) and Registered Orthomolecular Health Practitioner (ROHP) designation(s), from the International Organization of Nutritional Consultants (IONC  www.ionc.org). Upon joining the IONC, you will qualify for an official RNCP/ROHP   registration number, which is honored by various employee group plans for reimbursement of nutritional counseling services.
  • The program consists of approximately 100-hours of video lectures, approved by the IONC. The program also includes a complete set of digital course notes, and all power point slides (in pdf format). Additional textbook reading is also required. Online exams are required throughout the program, along with several assignments to meet the IONC requirements.
  • The IONC is presently in negotiations with the government to form a Registry of all RNCP/ROHP practitioners with a medium-range goal of becoming a full-fledged Regulated Profession. This is approximately where Naturopaths were in their emergence 15-20 years ago. This program enables DC’s and other regulated health professionals to acquire recognized status in the field of nutritional and lifestyle medicine and sports nutrition; area of great importance to patient health, healing and healthy life expectancy.
