Abstract/Notes

Objective: The primary objective of this study was to assess, summarize, and compare the current integrated clinical learning opportunities offered for students who matriculated in US doctor of chiropractic programs (DCPs).

Methods: Two authors independently searched all accredited DCP handbooks and websites for clinical training opportunities within integrated settings. The 2 data sets were compared with any discrepancies resolved through discussion. We extracted data for preceptorships, clerkships, and/or rotations within the Department of Defense, Federally Qualified Health Centers, multi-/inter-/transdisciplinary clinics, private/public hospitals, and the Veterans Health Administration. Following data extraction, officials from each DCP were contacted with a request to verify the collected data.

Results: Of the 17 DCPs reviewed, all but 3 offered at least 1 integrated clinical experience, while 41 integrated clinical opportunities were the most offered by a single DCP. There was an average of 9.8 (median 4.0) opportunities per school and an average of 2.5 (median 2.0) clinical setting types. Over half (56%) of all integrated clinical opportunities were within the Veterans Health Administration, followed by multidisciplinary clinic sites (25%).

Conclusion: This work presents preliminary descriptive information of the integrated clinical training opportunities available through DCPs.
