McDOUGLE CHIROPRACTIC METHODS CERTIFICATE LEVEL TRAINING
Entry-Level Chiropractic Sports Training — Earn Your MCM Certificate
Every MCM Certificate is earned through attendance at individual classes or modules. Courses are designed to meet clinicians where they are — whether you’re a new graduate building clinical confidence or an experienced DC refining elite-level performance care skills.
Participants experience a range of educational / training environments:
-
Lecture sessions for foundational knowledge
-
Gym and weightroom training for applied biomechanics
-
Live-Fire events during National & International Strongman competitions for real-time learning
Each Certificate is Endorsed by the ICA-CFSHS and may eligible for CEU approval through the International Chiropractors Association (ICA) (additional ICA fees apply). Certificates also contribute toward full MCM Certification hours if desired.
All certificate holders are featured on www.StrongmanDoc.World — connecting athletes, promoters, trainers, and gym owners with certified chiropractic professionals.

OVERLAPPING EDUCATION PROCESSES
Dynamic Learning – Living Curriculum
Each MCM session evolves through attendee engagement, real case discussions, and live demonstrations. This living curriculum ensures ongoing improvement and relevancy across changing clinical demands.
Students gain practical, repeatable skills that enhance both patient outcomes and on-site care proficiency.
The hours will indeed overlap and each lecture will continue to morph based upon lecture engagement from the attendees and questions that arise during each presentation. The education process will act as a living entity in that with more interaction, the processes, procedures, and information will advance as the demand requires. Scheduling is always an issue when attempting to coordinate with the attendees and lecture focus regardless of location. As is the natural course of events, insertion into each program presentation may be similar although not exactly the same and may include additional information as suggested. Our purpose is to prepare the attendees for patient/athlete engagements of all kinds and create a learning environment that allows for useable skill set acquisition at every event. Repetition is key during any learning process and we will do everything in our power to ensure that the attendees receive useable information.
