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-rofessional education and practice, to epidemiology and health services
research.
The day was a resounding success that challenged students
and practicing chiropractors alike to continually ask “What if I could….?” and
to pursue this question until an answer is found. 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-centered care.
Please look for more details on this event in the April 2008
issue of Canadian Chiropractor.
