On Friday, February 1, 2008, the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College
in Toronto held a research symposium to recognize the results of some
of the “What if I could…..?” questions that have led chiropractors into
exciting research activities. Speakers included Dr. John Triano, Dr.
Marion McGregor, Dr. Mark Erwin, Dr. Deborah Kopanski-Giles and many
more.
Speakers presented findings on clinical techniques as well as
biomechanics and cellular biology. Health policy topics ranged from
interdisciplinary health dynamics and inter-professional education and
practice, to epidemiology and health services research.
The day was a resounding success that challenged students and
practising chiropractors alike to continually ask “What if I could….?”
Along with the magnificent basic science research that was reported
upon, speakers encouraged the profession to abandon isolationism and
form inter-professional networks. It is within these networks that
chiropractors can lead in the discovery and delivery of quality,
patient-centred care.
