About Us
In recent years, the number of doctors of chiropractic (DCs) working in various medical settings in the US has grown substantially. Continued success among these DCs positively influences the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of medical system stakeholders, which in turn enhances the ability of chiropractors to serve the public.
DCs in medical systems face many opportunities and obstacles that typically do not exist elsewhere in chiropractic practice. Communication, collaboration, and professional networking among these DCs can facilitate future success.
Other stakeholders – such as DC students, private practice DCs, and medical system administrators – often seek information about the inclusion of chiropractic care in medical settings. A trusted source for disseminating this information can serve an important need.
The purpose of the DC Integration project is to establish a private roster of DCs working in medical settings, and a public resource of related information.
