Mission

The World Chiropractic Alliance’s Council on Chiropractic Mentoring is a non-profit council that is dedicated to supporting chiropractic students and new chiropractic graduates in starting, building, and maintaining successful practices through ethical and philosophical marketing, advertising, and practice building techniques. Enhancement of chiropractic through confidence building, strong intention, and professional integrity is also part of the mission.

Projects

	To create a powerful outreach program to help students and new graduates attain and achieve high levels of practice.
	To contact all of the chiropractic colleges and create mentorship hubs in each college through the use of experienced chiropractors and consultants that will advise on specific practice questions and issues.
	To provide Internet and on-line chat rooms to answer questions concerning practice and management.
	To reach out to all state associations to create programs within each state to utilize mentor doctors to help new chiropractic practitioners develop practices that will help them to achieve practice and procedural methods that will help with efficiency.
	To provide these services for students and new graduates at no charge — the only condition is to become a member of WCA and their state association.
	To implement a strong philosophical component into the program by creating a reason and understanding of what we do and why we do it (e.g., subluxation-based education) to support the sheer numbers of new doctors coming out into the field.
