“…2 Interprofessional collaboration may address some of the shortfalls in health promotion and disease prevention by creating an overlap and sharing of the tasks among providers, especially for patients with multiple chronic conditions who often see several types of health professionals. [3][4][5] Toward that end, this clinical practice guideline is designed to offer a practical model of interprofessional collaboration for chiropractors in the delivery of clinical preventive servicesthat is, services provided by health care providers that reduce risk factors and screen for early-stage disease 6 -to adult patients with musculoskeletal conditions. Utilizing the breadth of the available health care workforce, including chiropractors, would bolster at-risk patients' exposure to health promotion messages.…”

“…There is some evidence these placements are a step in the right direction to engender positive graduate attributes such as altruism, community service and social conscience and create a propensity to move to non-metropolitan regions after graduation (Amorin-Woods et al, 2019). During the placements, undergraduate chiropractic students under supervision provide pro-bono services according to current evidence-based protocols (Amorin-Woods et al, 2014a, 2017Amorin-Woods and Losco, 2016;Amorin-Woods et al, 2014b, Parkin-Smith et al, 2015Parkin-Smith et al, 2017). Before participating in these CIPs, chiropractic students must complete CAT, either via an asynchronous (Farros et al, 2020) online module (WACRH, 2020) or onsite in face-to-face (F2F) sessions delivered by local Aboriginal people.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (ATSI), it is expected that non-ATSI health-care professionals become culturally aware; however, participants’ perceptions of the relative merit of cultural awareness training (CAT) formats is uncertain. Design/methodology/approach The authors compared undergraduate students’ perceptions of an asynchronous online format with onsite delivery formats of CAT using a mixed-method design. Students from five successive cohorts (n = 64) in an undergraduate programme were invited to complete a post-training survey which gathered quantitative and qualitative data. Findings Whilst feedback was positive regarding both formats, the onsite format was preferred qualitatively with several valuable learning outcome themes emerging from the results. These themes included; “perceived benefits of self-evaluation of students’ own culture whilst learning about Aboriginal culture”; “encouraging to be provided with scenarios, examples and exercises to enhance cultural awareness” and “engagement with the interactive facilitator approach”. There were differing views about the benefits of learning the history of oppression which warrant further research. Research limitations/implications Results may be applicable to undergraduate allied health students who participate in clinical immersion placements (CIPs) who participate in Aboriginal CAT. Practical implications Given the changing dynamic in education forced by the COVID-19 pandemic, more resources may need to be directed to improving online training and possibly combining formats in course delivery. Social implications The strength of the study is that the authors achieved a response rate of 100%, thus the results are highly significant for the sample. This sample represents 41.3% of chiropractic students who attended CAT and CIPs at this university over the course of 9 years, thus the results could be generalized to chiropractic students who participated in these types of placements. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to compare student perceptions of different formats of Aboriginal CAT for final year chiropractic undergraduate students in Australia.

“…7 Chiropractors, by virtue of their primary contact training, may be able to assist in addressing the chronic shortage of health practitioners outside metropol-itan areas, 8,9 particularly for the management of spinal pain. 10,11 In common with other professions, a growing number of chiropractic programs are adopting clinical immersion placements (CIPs). [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] CIPs are a form of experiential clerkship characterized by ''hands-on'' community service involvement, which is integrated with the curriculum and designed to encourage social responsibility and active community participation.…”

Objective: To explore the influence of nonmetropolitan clinical immersion placements (CIPs) on undergraduate chiropractic student experience, professional attributes, and practice destination. Methods: Students enrolled in an Australian undergraduate chiropractic program were invited to complete a service experience questionnaire and an open-ended reflective feedback form following a nonmetropolitan CIP (Part A). Online searches were performed to gather data on graduate practice location (Part B). Results: Sixty-four students participated in Part A. All agreed that the placement was educational and should be retained in the program. Students agreed that the placement enhanced respect for individuals and awareness of others in need, highlighted the importance of respect for all people, improved empathy for the disadvantaged, and provided an opportunity to improve communication skills. Most indicated that they were more likely to practice in a country setting as a result of their placement, with those participating in a country placement more likely to practice in nonmetropolitan regions after graduation. Conclusion: Many chiropractic programs around the world are adopting CIPs. This study is the 1st to investigate the possible influence of nonmetropolitan CIPs on the development of desirable attributes in Australian chiropractic students. It also discusses the potential influence of nonmetropolitan CIPs on future practice location decisions. These results support the utility of CIPs to help meet the educational objectives of chiropractic programs and possibly address the maldistribution of the chiropractic workforce in Australia.
