2020 WFC~ACC Education Conference: CHIROPRACTIC EDUCATION: MEETING THE NEEDS OF A GLOBAL HEALTH WORKFORCE

The 2020 WFC~ACC Education Conference will explore the current demands of chiropractic education against a backdrop of global transformation in health care and an increasing awareness of the potential contribution of chiropractors within health systems globally.

Chiropractors have a key role to play in delivering evidence-based, people-centred, interprofessional and collaborative care. With the World Health Organization estimating a current shortfall of 18 million health workers, ensuring that there are sufficient numbers of chiropractors to meet the needs of populations is a priority.

At the same time, it is important that those expected to deliver solutions to musculoskeletal pain and disability, particularly involving the spine, meet the expectations of patients and wider society.
