Abstract/Notes	Excerpt: Although studies1–4 have been published analyzing knowledge retention in other fields of study, a literature search failed to yield any published research on this topic in the field of chiropractic education. Due to the large volume of material presented in curricula at chiropractic colleges, there is concern that the information taught is not sufficiently retained in future years of study or in clinical practice. Testing this assertion would require a quantitative assessment of information retention after certain retention intervals. To our knowledge, the degree to which material is retained throughout subsequent years of study has not recently been directly assessed at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC).
