He is the Chair of the ICA’s Research and Development Committee. He also currently serves as the Secretary of the Research Workgroup for Chiropractic Future, LLC.
Dr. Betz has co-authored over a dozen peer-reviewed research papers, as well as several chapters for a textbook on spinal corrective methods. He has received many prestigious awards including Chiropractor of the Year from CBP® Non-Profit, the IACP, and the ICA. CBP® Non-Profit has also awarded him Researcher of the Year on two occasions. He is one of the founding instructors of the AMTI Program and has taught evidence-based principles of managing patients with whiplash-associated disorders around the world.
Dr. Donald Hirsh founded Hirsh Chiropractic Center in Laurel, Maryland in 1987 with his wife, Dr. Susan Hirsh. Uniquely trained as a Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP®) Postural Analysis Spine Care provider, his expertise is correcting postural problems that often begin with traumatic injuries.
Dr. Hirsh has served in many leadership positions, including Chairman of the ICA, Chairman of the ICA’s Council on Applied Chiropractic Science, and President, and current Chairman of the Maryland Chiropractic Association, among other leadership roles nationally.
Dr. Fred Barge mentored and inspired Dr. Hirsh to “Be the Doctor’s Doctor.” Dr. Hirsh’s practice and teaching approach focuses on putting patient care first. By concentrating on the patient’s subluxation complex, all else falls into place- a satisfied and healthier patient who refers, a pleased attorney who also refers, and an office that gets paid their true worth.
As a child of the 50s and a product of the 60s Scottsdale chiropractor, Bill Gallagher was taught to question everything. That shows in his work that led to advances in Directional Non Force Technique, DNFT™. He is a 1988 graduate of Life Chiropractic College West and the founder of the American Academy of Motor Vehicle Injuries. When he decided to study personal injury, he attended as many seminars as he could find. What he found was that each teacher had an important piece of the puzzle, but none had a complete picture. To fill this gap, he created The Academy.
The need for this information is undeniable and has allowed him to present classes across the country and as far away as Zurich where he co-chaired a pain management conference. There he presented twice on the Mechanism of Injury for Spine and for Concussions/TBI. With a long lineup of medical speakers, his were the presentations that the audience sat up for and took notes.
The 150-hour Certificate in Motor Vehicle Injuries program is now available online with testing by NBCE.
He has been a contributing editor for Attorney At Law Magazine, currently serves as President of the Arizona Association of Chiropractic, and as a panelist for Clinical Compass. He has contributed suggested changes for the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment 6th Edition and is working with them on the 2024 update.

The AMTI program by the International Chiropractors Association’s (ICA) Council on Applied Chiropractic Sciences is a specialized 150-hour training initiative via in-person and online courses tailored for chiropractors seeking advanced skills in the assessment and management of traumatic injuries. This newly revamped course was made in collaboration with the American Academy of Motor Vehicle Injuries, AAMVI. It focuses on the latest evidence-based practices to enhance practitioners’ expertise in dealing with traumatic injuries.
Chiropractors who are just beginning to focus on traumatic injuries in their practices, and those that are highly experienced, should consider the AMTI program for its emphasis in learning the specialized craft and to stay abreast of the latest advancements in the management of traumatic injuries. This program equips chiropractors with specialized knowledge and skills to effectively address trauma-related conditions and improve patient outcomes.
The ICA and its Councils have a long history of offering exceptional Certificate and Diplomate programs. The AMTI Certificate will enhance your reputation especially with attorneys who are looking for highly qualified chiropractors to refer their patients to. Your narratives, deposition and jury testimony will be significantly more credible than your less trained peers.
The AMTI program is distinct in that it is the only program offered by an International or National Association and, in addition, offers a comprehensive examination by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners. Furthermore, the focus of the AMTI is centered on enhancing clinical outcomes and producing outstanding documentation which in turn leads to better medical/legal outcomes.
Yes, the AMTI program is designed to cater to chiropractors at different stages of their careers. Whether you’re a recent graduate or a seasoned practitioner, the program offers valuable insights and skills to elevate your competence in managing traumatic injuries.
The AMTI program has a 12-hour in person mandatory component and an additional 138 online that can be completed at your own pace, followed by a mandatory test administered by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners.
