About CDI
Chiropractic Development International (CDI) is an industry leader in the continuing professional development of chiropractors. CDI is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) that offers nationally accredited and professionally recognised training for practising chiropractors.
CDI specialises in equipping chiropractors with the scientific knowledge, communication skills and practical tools to powerfully position themselves within the health care landscape. CDI's strength lies in helping chiropractors develop the 'in practice' skills that are required to build a successful and sustainable health care practice. CDI recognises that the ability to demonstrate these core clinical competencies is essential for emerging accreditation requirements and is therefore central to the future of the chiropractic profession.
CDI was formed in 2002 by the principals of Spine Partners ~Wahroonga, a leading chiropractic practice on Sydney's North Shore with one of the highest rates of medical referral and medical specialist collaboration in Australia. Importantly, this was achieved whilst maintaining a strong professional identity as chiropractors. The Directors of CDI are board certified and board eligible in Neurology by the American Chiropractic Neurology Board and have lectured in Neurology for ten years at one of Australia's leading Universities.
CDI is headquartered in Sydney, Australia and currently delivers training programs across Australia, New Zealand, Asia and the United Kingdom.
The spectrum of chiropractors that have participated in CDI's training programs is diverse, both in terms of areas of specialisation and technique. At any given time our enrolment includes chiropractors at all stages of their career - from new graduates to chiropractors with over 30 years of practice experience. Having trained thousands of chiropractors we have seen a common theme underlying the professional development needs of the modern chiropractor - enhanced clinical skills resting upon a neurological framework and powerful communication strategies for strengthening your reputation as an expert in your field.
The future of health care hinges on effective collaboration and communication, where each professional is recognised for their unique scope of practice. Chiropractors must continuously advance their clinical framework and effectively communicate their expertise. This requires an ever-new set of skills, tools, processes and resources. This is the core capability of CDI.
Nationally Recognised Training
CDI's training programs have been specifically designed to equip chiropractors with the knowledge and skills to actively engage the wider health care community and take the lead role in their field of expertise. Therefore, CDI's training programs and supporting resources have been aligned with nationally recognised units of competency in clinical practice. At the same time, the content has been uniquely contextualised to fulfil the needs of chiropractors and powerfully enhance the skill set of this important clinical workforce.
Participants that complete the various competency units through CDI's training programs are awarded nationally recognised Statements of Attainment under the Australian Qualifications Framework. Whilst chiropractors are highly educated to the postgraduate level, CDI is ideally positioned to 'parallel-skill' chiropractors across a range of professional competencies that are contained within the nationally endorsed Health Training Package.
