Over 30 representatives from the Chiropractic profession in Mackay were welcomed at a recent event held at CQUniversity Mackay...

Locals heard first hand how the new program will benefit patient care in chiropractic clinics throughout the region and had the opportunity to explore the newest and best diagnostic imaging learning facilities in Australia.

Recently appointed Professor of Chiropractic, Professor Phillip Ebrall, spoke about the many opportunities that are being written into the new courses for work-integrated learning which include clinical placements throughout the region and the state, as well as incorporating mini-study tours to Japan and Malaysia to build cross-cultural competence. 

"This innovative approach to learning and teaching will ensure CQUniversity's chiropractic program is a world-leader" says Professor Ebrall.

The progressive approach to clinical practice by chiropractors in Mackay was acknowledged nationally and this was one of the reasons why CQUniversity Mackay was selected to host a chiropractic program that would support and maintain this leadership position.

CQUniversity's Bachelor of Science (Chiropractic) is on offer from 2012; and Master of Chiropractic Science will be available from February 2014
