CMCC GRADUATE ACCEpTED fOR WHO INTERNSHIp Jennifer Nash, a 2008 Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) graduate, has recently begun a three-month internship at the World Health Organization (WHO) headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. This is a unique op- portunity, and Nash is the second chiropractic student – and the first ever Canadian chiropractic student – to be accepted into this program. During her time at CMCC, Nash was passionate about attending the World Congress of Chiroprac- tic Students (WCCS). She repre- sented CMCC at the 2005, 2007 and 2008 annual WCCS con- gresses in Denmark, South Africa and Mexico, respectively. At the most recent congress, Nash was nominated, and selected, to rep- resent the WCCS by submitting an application for the intern posi- tion at the WHO. Her application was accepted and Nash now has the opportu- nity to assist with the preparation of new global guidelines and technical documents related to the training, safety and regula- tion of manual therapies and guide- lines for evidence-based traditional medicine, including chiropractic. Nash practises at The Natural Way Health Clinic in Waterloo, Ontario, but is currently taking a three-month leave from January 12 to April 3, 2009, to complete her WHO internship. The position is completely unpaid/unfunded by the WHO; therefore, the burden of the travel, accommodation and living expenses falls on the interns themselves. Anyone who would like to make a contribution to support Nash’s in- ternship position in Switzerland, is asked to send a cheque – made out to the “WFC” – to the World Fed- eration of Chiropractic, Suite 203, 1246 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON M4T 1W5, Attention: Khalid Salim, or contact Khalid directly with Visa or MasterCard details at ksalim@ wfc.org or at 416-484-9978. Canadian Chiropractor would like to extend sincere congratu- lations to Dr. Nash, for achieving this opportunity, and wishes her, and her fellow interns, success in Geneva. www.canadianchiropractor.ca CANADIAN CHIROPRACTOR | FEBRUARY 2009 • 41 news
