Dr.

Konarski Clinic

Witnessing an emergency and being unable to respond is heartbreaking. If the lack of response is due to a doctor's lack of confidence of his or her skills, it is a tragedy. Luckily, doctors can refresh their training and update their education by attending Dr. Karen Konarski-Hart's program. She presents an energy-packed seminar on DC community involvement and cross training, urging doctors of chiropractic to volunteer in their communities—especially with disaster response.

Doctors leave this program with straightforward tips on how to get involved and how to work seamlessly with all disciplines. This course covers the skills recommended in the American Chiropractic Association's resolution on chiropractic emergency service. It is also customized to the needs and interests of the attendees and to the probable situations in the state or region of those attendees. Information gained is applicable both to personal home emergencies and team participation in disasters.

Dr. Konarski-Hart earned diplomate status in chiropractic orthopedics from Parker College of Chiropractic, a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from the National College of Chiropractic, and a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Michigan. She holds a Master’s Degree in Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management from Arkansas State University. She has practiced since 1979 in Little Rock, Ark., was a governor's appointee to the Arkansas Board of Health and served as its president. She has served on the Arkansas Bioterrorism Advisory Committee, is a physician on the Arkansas Emergency Medical Service Training Committee and is a leader of the Pulaski County Medical Reserve Corps.
