PublicHealth said:awdc,
Why did you leave chiropractic?
To make long story short, my interest in chiropractic dropped during school and my interest in medicine went up during the latter part of chiropractic school. I'm a very science-minded kind of guy but I didn't want to practice as a quasi-PT. I wanted to be a physician. I felt limited and bored just treating mechanical musculoskeletal conditions (much of it being back pain). The financial difficulties of chiropractors and my own experience of trying to find a position that would even offer an adequate salary also turned me off.
PublicHealth said:List of Facilities Eligible to Hire DCs under the NHSC Demo Program Now Available
The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) chiropractic student loan repayment demonstration pilot program will allow doctors of chiropractic to practice in medically underserved communities for loan repayment awards. This demonstration project will determine if adding doctors of chiropractic as permanent NHSC members would enhance the corps effectiveness. The ACA has obtained a listing of all facilities that are eligible to hire DCs under this program.

I will have to get a copy and read it but at first glance at the abstract there are SERIOUS methodological questions. I'll reserve judgement until I can read it.
