This paper examines a recent report on Medical Education entitled “Physicians for the Twenty First Century.” The conclusions of this study are summarized. Using the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College as the focus, chiropractic education is then examined with regard to these same solutions. The results of this comparison show that in many areas, chiropractic education is favourably positioned vis-a-vis medical education, but in other areas it shares the same or similar problems. In the areas of problem based learning and competency based learning, CMCC has already implemented programmes. Further, the objective of our programme is the graduation of a “general” practitioner and our programme is, therefore, a broad based, general professional education. In the areas of the humanities and the social sciences, our programme is deficient and this is something that must be addressed in the coming years.
