“…A review of socially guided educational experiences such as problem-based learning, 31 staff mentoring, 32 and student or peer mentoring 33,34 indicates that these may help develop student confidence in patient communication and clinical (physical) skills. Problem-based learning, grounded in cognitive theory and with its origins in medical education, has been increasing in popularity in the education of professionals in chiropractic, 35 medicine, pharmacy, and psychotherapy. 31 It is generally considered to be a useful approach for teaching students how to think critically and solve authentic problems and effective in building confidence in communication and general clinical aspects of care.…”

Purpose: One important objective of chiropractic education is to foster student professional confidence and competence in patient communication and clinical skills. Therefore, the aim of this article is to review the extant literature on this topic, stressing the significance of building students' confidence for effective practice and the need for more research in this area. Methods: The authors reviewed MEDLINE and ERIC from 1980 through 2008 using several key words pertinent to confidence and health care. Three distinct, but interrelated, bodies of literature were assessed, including professional confidence in health care research, the nature and development of confidence in educational psychology research, and fostering professional confidence in chiropractic education. Results: It was apparent through the review that chiropractic education has developed educational methods and opportunities that may help develop and build student confidence in patient communication and clinical skills. However, there has not been sufficient research to provide empirical evidence of the impact. Conclusion: Fostering chiropractic students' development of confidence in what they say and do is of paramount importance not only to them as new practitioners but more importantly to the patient. There is no doubt that a better understanding of how confidence can be developed and consolidated during tertiary study should be a major goal of chiropractic education.

The necessary future of chiropractic education: a North American perspective

et al. 2005

The chiropractic educational system in North America is currently in a state of flux. The attempted conversion of some chiropractic schools into "universities" and the want of university affiliation for chiropractic schools suggests that we are searching for a better alternative to the present system. In the early 20 th century, the Flexner Report helped transform modern medical education into a discipline that relies on scientific and clinical knowledge. Some have wondered if it is time for a Flexner-type report regarding the education of doctors of chiropractic. This article outlines the current challenges within the chiropractic educational system and proposes positive changes for that system.

“…They stressed the importance of teaching these skills to students-skills that should be modeled by faculty and that include sessions devoted to critical appraisal, online literature searching, and the ability to use interactive casebased software. Fernandez and Delaney 50 reported on the effectiveness of using a problem-based educational strategy to teach evidence-based health care with a focus on the development and appraisal of answerable clinical questions. They noted that student self-reporting indicated an average improvement in skills and attitudes in the ability to practice evidence-based health care.…”
