Student Involvement in Research at Palmer College

The faculty of the Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research encourage any and all students at the college to be involved in our research program. We know that the future of the profession will be in the hands of our graduates and hope to shape that future. In the age of evidence-based healthcare, the ability to read and use research material will be crucial skills for all practitioners. There is a course in the curriculum (9th tri) where you can learn the basics, but you can gain a much deeper appreciation through practical experience.

There are several ways you can become involved:

• Form a club with your classmates to read and discuss research articles.
• Meet the research faculty and talk with them about their projects. (Be careful, though, they are easily excitable!)
• Apply for a work-study position to help out in one of those projects.
• Develop a project for Research Honors
• Seek further research training in Palmer's Division of Graduate Studies.

You can see that the level of commitment escalates as you become more involved. The amount of learning, too, increases.
