[Editor’s Note: A number of new regulatory challenges, cultural shifts, and more are impacting the current chiropractic workforce. These shifts can negatively affect associate hiring and the future sales potential of practices. The Association of Chiropractic Colleges asks for your assistance with this important study. We encourage you to participate in the study and share it with your colleagues, inviting them to do the same.]
The Association of Chiropractic Colleges (ACC) needs your help. ACC is working with researchers at the Fitzhugh Mullan Institute for Health Workforce Equity at the George Washington University to conduct a study of the chiropractic workforce. They are conducting a survey of doctors of chiropractic (DCs) to get a better understanding of issues of concern to chiropractic practitioners, including career paths, practice patterns, compensation, and well-being. The survey will provide important data for ACC about how to improve support and opportunities for DCs, and we hope you will participate today.
The survey will take you about 10 minutes to complete. Please click on the link below to access the secure survey website:
To have your responses included, please respond by Friday, November 13, 2026.
When you open the survey link, you will see an information sheet that explains your rights and protections as a research participant. If you agree to participate, please click “Agree” and “Next” to begin the survey.
Your participation in this survey is entirely voluntary, and all of your responses will be kept anonymous. Email addresses and IP addresses will be automatically separated from your responses. Reports and papers based on analysis of this information will only use aggregated survey data.
