A vulnerability is a weakness that allows harm to a stakeholder. Within the chiropractic profession our weakness has been the lack of research literacy and quality/quantity of research. With much braver, our profession is focused on this gap and filling it with research activities that are focused on transparency, inclusion, and collaboration. In this presentation, Dr. Katie Pohlman, Vice Chair of the Chiropractic Future’s Research Workgroup and Director of Research at Parker University, will describe current research activities that are optimizing chiropractic patient outcomes and strengthening our evidence gap.
