Abstract/Notes The purpose of this study was to collect data about the quality of chiropractic college education from the perspective of established chiropractors. A random sample of 450 doctors of chiropractic who graduated from chiropractic college between the years of 1984 and 1991 were sent a two-page survey.

Mean values (+/- SD) for OQ, PC, and PM were 1.9 (0.7), 2.2 (0.5), and 3.3 (0.7), respectively, on a 5-point scale in which 1 = excellent, 2 = good, 3 = fair, 4 = poor, and 5 = very poor.
