The Personal Injury (PI) Bootcamp

Advanced Trauma Training + Medical-Legal Documentation That Attorneys Trust

If you treat auto accident and trauma patients, your clinical accuracy and documentation determine everything—causality, diagnosis, reimbursement, case strength, and your professional reputation.

The Personal Injury (PI) Bootcamp is a 7-course, comprehensive program built for doctors practicing in the trauma environment who want to:

• Triage-diagnose trauma patients with confidence

• Establish defensible causality

• Improve imaging and neurodiagnostic clinical correlation

• Deliver medico-legal documentation reviewed and relied on by attorneys nationwide

• Become the go-to authority for PI attorneys, insurers, and co-treating providers

This is not “PI basics.” This is advanced trauma training + admissible documentation systems designed to help you perform at a higher clinical and professional level—while staying ethical, compliant, and evidence-based.

✅ Ideal For:

• Chiropractors and doctors treating motor vehicle collision (MVC) patients

• Providers who need clear causality language

• Clinicians who want reporting that holds up under legal scrutiny

• Doctors seeking CE/CME-eligible advanced credentialing education

Why This Bootcamp Exists

Because in PI, credentials + documentation decide outcomes.

Attorneys and medical professionals don’t refer to “nice clinicians.” They refer to clinicians who produce:

• Clear clinical reasoning

• Proper triage and diagnostics

• Imaging-based clinical correlation

• Legally admissible, compliant, complete reporting

The Academy of Chiropractic has collaborated extensively with legal professionals across the country to ensure this curriculum reflects the real-world medical-legal standards required in trauma cases.

And the documentation protocols taught inside this program have been reviewed by tens of thousands of attorneys nationwide and identified as admissible, complete, and compliant for reporting:

• Causality

• Bodily injury

• Functional loss

• Medical necessity

• Clinical correlation

What You’ll Be Able to Do After Completion

Clinical & Diagnostic Mastery
