What do you like about this subject?

Chiropractic is the third largest field of health care delivery in the United States, behind only medicine and dentistry. This is a tremendously rewarding feild that brings with it many challanges.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

Integrating chiropractic into traditional community based health care delivery. Creating a true multidisciplinary health care environment where the consumer stands to benefit from both choice and cooperation of health care providers.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

More people now seek care from alternative and complementory care providers than they do from traditional general medicine.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Now that there is greater access to non-traditional forms of health care, who stands to benefit, and who stands to loose?
