Description
Carol Ann Weis and co-authors survey research culture and capacity among faculty at a Canadian chiropractic college, in a 2024 study. Research gives a profession authority and keeps teaching current. Chiropractic has long struggled to build a mature research culture. Institutional support, time, and skills all shape whether faculty do research at all.
The mixed methods study paired questionnaires with deeper interviews. Faculty described their activity, attitudes, and barriers firsthand. Existing capacity was mapped against what growth would require. Mentorship, funding, and protected time emerged as recurring themes. College leaders gain a baseline for a research strategy. Other small professional schools face the same climb. The methods transfer readily to peer institutions.
