Just for clarity, I represent the faculties of medicine of Canada, so those that do the education at the level of the MD.
In fact, absolutely; this is where, when I discussed our future of medical education in Canada project, it was very clear that one of the very important recommendations was to advance inter- and intra-professional practice. Each one of our faculties of medicine has really advanced significantly in this recommendation. There are excellent examples in every school where students are learning side by side with a variety of health professions and are exposed to practitioners during their training. The more education occurs in distributed settings, as is the case now....
We have education happening not only in the big cities, in the tertiary care hospitals, but much more in communities, in distributed medical education settings. The settings are related to campuses that have been set up in smaller communities and in the tremendous network of educational experiences that are happening in the rural and remote areas as well. That allows our students to be exposed to a variety of care providers.
I can't speak specifically to the profession of chiropractor, but as a concept, this is absolutely embraced by all of our schools.
