Excerpt: Previous work on the topic of chiropractic research capacity in Canada has shown that currently less than 1% of chiropractors across the country are conducting research on a full time basis. That survey consisted of two parts, a first sent to the entire profession nationwide and a second sent only to those with post-graduate training or who indicated in the first part that they were currently conducting research.1 The main findings from the first part of the survey indicated that there were 94 chiropractors who either have or are in the process of completing a master’s degree, along with 30 who either possess or are completing a PhD.1 There was a noticeable discrepancy in terms of researcher distribution across the country with the vast majority being found in Ontario and Quebec and the remaining provinces and territories suffering from a considerable lack of researchers.
