Chiropractic physicians are seeking a higher level of cultural authority within their communities and the United States health care system. This commentary suggests an innovative strategy that might expedite the attainment of professional authority while improving the training of chiropractic students and faculty. The authors propose the founding of integrative medicine centers of excellence by colleges of chiropractic that will employ clinical faculties comprised of allopathic, chiropractic, osteopathic, and naturopathic physicians. Initially, the health care facilities should offer primary care through an integrative medicine model. It is anticipated that these centers of excellence will require both government and private funding in order to develop research programs, provide high-quality patient care, and improve the medical training for students with residents programs.
整脊医师正在寻求在其所在社区和美国医疗保健系统中获得更高水平的文化权威。本评论提出了一种创新策略，该策略可能会加快获得专业权威的进程，同时改善整脊专业学生和教师的培训。作者提议整脊学院建立综合医学卓越中心，这些中心将聘用由西医、整脊医师、骨病医师和自然疗法医师组成的临床教师队伍。最初，医疗保健设施应通过综合医学模式提供初级保健。预计这些卓越中心将需要政府和私人资金，以便开展研究项目、提供高质量的患者护理，并通过住院医师项目改善对学生的医学培训。
