Context: This paper follows an earlier exploration of the philosophy of chiropractic education in which a history was given along with predictions for future directions.
Argument: My prelude paper situates this current paper in which I draw on a review of the known basic approaches to the philosophy of education and extract and apply those elements I contend best represent the optimal philosophical framework for a program of chiropractic education. This synthesis is new as while the literature presents a number of reports about enhancing the elements of a chiropractic program there seems to be no overarching philosophy for chiropractic education argued at this time.
Conclusion: This paper reports a philosophy for a program of chiropractic education and argues in its favour. The program of reference is the Transnational Curriculum developed for Nations without a current program of chiropractic education.
