Palmer College of Chiropractic Receives Grant from NIH

March 11, 2013 - PRLog -- The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has recently renewed the R25 grant of Palmer College of Chiropractic’s “Expanding Evidence-based Clinical Practice (EBCP) and Research Across Palmer College of Chiropractic” project. This grant will allow the continuation of this initial four-year project that aims to incorporate EBCP principles into the courses and clinical activities of the college.

"We hope to see [the] adoption of EBCP attitudes, knowledge and skills by Palmer graduates who are effectively practicing evidence-based clinical decision-making in an environment that increasingly demands interdisciplinary cooperation and an emphasis on patient outcomes," Christine Goertz, DC, PhD, vice chancellor for research and health policy stated.

According to Cynthia Long, PhD, the principal investigator of “Expanding Evidence-based Clinical Practice and Research Across Palmer College of Chiropractic,” faculty members in all three Palmer campuses have been trained in EBCP. There are also plans that additional members will receive training at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario and the University of Iowa.

Dr. Henry Rice of ChiroCarolina supports this project as this is another milestone for the chiropractic industry.
