| Excerpt: National University has a reputation of leading in the chiropractic profession and that leadership is exemplified in part by the fact that it was National in 1978 who began to publish the first and still the only scientific journal in the chiropractic profession included in Index Medicus. The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (JMPT) has become known worldwide as the scientific mouthpiece of the chiropractic profession. Today, we, National University of Health Sciences, in conjunction with the Council on Diagnosis and Internal Disorders of the American Chiropractic Association and the American Academy of Chiropractic Physicians are initiating a new journal called the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine. Doubtless there will be heartburn over the title, but it was chosen to represent a profession that needs to become thoroughly modern, integrated and science/evidence based. It is intended to be a journal that will expand the boundaries of the profession by expanding its ideas, its vision, and its willingness to escape the chains of past dogma.
