Dr. Timothy D. Francis is an internationally recognized expert on applied kinesiology, with three decades of combined experience. Currently, Dr. Timothy D. Francis is a private practice physician and a global lecturer at the International College of Applied Kinesiology (ICAK), of which he is a diplomate.
Established in 1976, the IKAC-USA is a professional organization that promotes the practice of kinesiology through professional development, education, and research. The organization is international in scope, with chapters in Germany, Italy, the UK, Scandinavia, Australia, Canada, and BeNeLux. In addition, the ICAK administers the diplomate status certification to members who successfully complete an examination process.
The bylaws of the ICAK established an International Board of Examiners responsible for administering the diplomate exam. The exam itself is a two-part test that includes a written and a practical component. The written portion of the exam includes sections on nutrition, acupuncture, cranial-sacral respiratory, reflex procedures, and general applied kinesiology. Each of these sections includes 100 questions and can only be passed with a score of 75 percent or better. The practical component complements the written portion by testing the candidate’s competence in an actual clinical setting complete with a patient.
