Since 1989, Swedish chiropractors with the title "Doctor of Chiropractic" have been authorized as chiropractic physicians by the Swedish health authorities. To obtain authorization after college examination abroad, the new graduate must attend a 1-yr postgraduate course in Sweden. The postgraduate training time in spent half at the hospital (mainly in the orthopaedic department) and half with an authorized chiropractor.
To investigate what is important for the chiropractic graduate to learn during his postgraduate training with an authorized chiropractor and which characteristics are important to have to be a good chiropractic supervisor.
Questionnaires were sent out to 10 authorized chiropractors who have chiropractic graduates at the moment or have had chiropractic graduates in the past. Eleven closed questions and one open question were used.
Regarding clinical activities, the most important aspect for the supervisors to learn was to have regular meetings with the graduate. Regarding the graduate's relationship to the patients, the most important aspect was to be professional. In the open question, the most important characteristic to become a good supervisor was to have an interest in teaching.
Chiropractors feel that one of the most important aspects of supervision is the ongoing dialogue between the chiropractor and the graduate. Among the statements that were considered less important included "awareness of correlation between body and mind" and "to have a holistic approach." It is possible that these two questions received such a low score because chiropractors believe that these activities are not important in the learning process for the graduate. Evaluating what the authorized chiropractor feels is important for the graduate to learn during the postgraduate training will provide some guidelines for those intending to take on graduates in the future. Follow-up studies are needed to compare the opinions of the graduates and the chiropractors.
自1989年起，拥有“脊椎按摩疗法博士”头衔的瑞典脊椎按摩师已被瑞典卫生当局授权为脊椎按摩医师。要在国外大学考试后获得授权，新毕业生必须在瑞典参加为期一年的研究生课程。研究生培训时间一半在医院（主要是骨科），一半跟随一位获得授权的脊椎按摩师。
调查对于脊椎按摩疗法专业毕业生而言，在跟随获得授权的脊椎按摩师进行研究生培训期间学习什么内容很重要，以及要成为一名优秀的脊椎按摩疗法督导员需要具备哪些重要特质。
向10位目前或曾经带过脊椎按摩疗法专业毕业生的获得授权的脊椎按摩师发放问卷。使用了11个封闭式问题和1个开放式问题。
关于临床活动，督导员要学习的最重要方面是与毕业生定期会面。关于毕业生与患者的关系，最重要的方面是要专业。在开放式问题中，成为一名优秀督导员最重要的特质是对教学有兴趣。
脊椎按摩师认为督导最重要的方面之一是脊椎按摩师与毕业生之间持续的对话。被认为不太重要的陈述包括“对身心关联的认识”和“采取整体方法”。这两个问题得分如此之低，可能是因为脊椎按摩师认为这些活动在毕业生的学习过程中并不重要。评估获得授权的脊椎按摩师认为毕业生在研究生培训期间学习什么内容很重要，将为未来有意接收毕业生的人提供一些指导方针。需要进行后续研究以比较毕业生和脊椎按摩师的意见。
