Hospital appointment
Chiropractic radiologist and occasional guest columnist for Canadian Chiropractor Dr. Marshall Deltoff was recently appointed to a full-time position at Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya, Israel. Deltoff, a Canadian, is the first chiropractor ever to be on staff at Galilee Medical Center. He has been appointed to a research position in the Department of Orthopedics, under the direction of Dr. Haim Shtarker, chairman of pediatric orthopedics. “This is a tremendous opportunity for me, and I am very grateful and proud to represent our profession,” Deltoff said. “The learning experience is phenomenal; I am treated as a total equal, going on rounds with the surgeons, visiting patients, and conducting research and manuscript preparation. It is particularly gratifying to see the incredible humanitarian work being done by these dedicated Israeli surgeons as they treat many children who are victims of the fighting in Syria.”

Canadian DC elected chair at Life West
The Life Chiropractic College West board of regents has unanimously elected Dr. Amit (Jimmy) Nanda as its new chair. A Canadian chiropractor from Oakville, Ont., Nanda has served on the Life West board since 2014, and as chair of the Governance Committee since 2015. Nanda’s election, which followed the appointment of former board chair Dr. Ron Oberstein as the college’s interim president, is notable since he is believed to be the first chiropractic college board chair of Indian origin. Nanda is the founder of the India Association of Chiropractic Doctors. He has placed significant effort on promoting diversity – including through enhanced recruitment efforts and international seminars – for Life West and throughout the profession. As a Life West graduate of 2003, Nanda is deeply committed to shepherding his alma mater into a continued legacy of excellence in chiropractic education, a statement from Life West said. He has been a leader in helping chiropractors expand their practices and grow their influence in Canada for the past 13 years.
