The International Chiropractic Sport Science Diploma (ICSSD)[1][2] is a post-doctoral professional certification, granted by the International Federation of Sports Chiropractic (FICS), through an association with Murdoch University.[3] [4]

The ICSSD is the "minimum qualification required to be part of a FICS chiropractic delegation for a national or international event such as the Olympic and World Games". [5]

The Program is run via several week-end seminars,[6] taught by faculty at accredited Chiropractic Colleges[7], and other locations around the world[8]. A Doctor of Chiropractic can also obtain the credential by submitting national post-doctoral sports Chiropractic credentials, a current CPR certification, and other qualifications to the FICS Education Commission for evaluation.

It is considered a pre-requisite to the Post-Graduate Diploma in Sports Chiropractic[9] program at Murdoch University, in Perth, Australia.[10] The ICSSD is recognized by the profession in many countries around the World. [11][12][13][14]
