Instructor - Chiropractic Fellowship

Position Description:
The purpose of the DCFP is to prepare Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) fellows for clinical practice as spine and musculoskeletal focused members of a multi-disciplinary team. The fellows will be prepared by providing them with an educational pathway that integrates evidence-based didactics with the cultivation of clinical and professional skills acquisition through clinical care experiences, interprofessional education, and scholarship.

• The fellowship is:
• Designed to provide fellows with advanced training as a spine and musculoskeletal focused member of a multidisciplinary healthcare team.
• Fellows will engage directly in a wide variety of patient care experiences beginning under the supervision of attending chiropractors, with increasing autonomy as they progress through the program.
• Fellows will observe a wide variety of spine care procedures, from ambulatory settings to directly in the operating room
• Fellows will engage in multiple scholarly related activities to enhance competency in evidence-based practice, critical thinking, and critical appraisal. Activities may include grand rounds, didactic lectures, clinical workshops, and other training opportunities.
• Fellows may engage in peer-reviewed research, make academic presentations at conferences, etc.

• Our fellows will learn our evidence-based, team-based approach for early intervention and comprehensive spine care. Our fellows will help patients have an early, safe return to their routine activities and workplace, and help prevent long-term disability from back and neck pain. Fellows will also learn our unique personalized approach, which places the patient at the center of care. We see the patient as a critical member of our team, and we ask our patients to be actively involved in their own treatment and long-term success.

• Our goals for the fellows include:
• Goal 1: DC fellows will be able to practice independently within an integrative spine and musculoskeletal focused clinic that is part of a wider health system network.
• Goal 2: DC fellows will be able to participate in interprofessional education with relevant allied health and medical professionals to enhance interprofessional collaboration and advance patient care.
• Goal 3: DC fellows will be able to engage in scholarship and academic activities to inform interprofessional collaboration and advance patient care.
