The Chiropractic Fellowship at Dartmouth aims to advance chiropractic clinical skills and research on spinal pain through cultivating and mentoring an exceptional candidate in a 3-year postdoctoral program focused on research career development. The Dartmouth Institute trains leaders and researchers in healthcare delivery, quality improvement, and policy. Through challenging coursework and research projects, the student will develop expertise in the quantitative techniques used to assess healthcare outcomes. Along the way, the student will be guided and mentored by world-renowned faculty who are the innovators behind many of the most disruptive ideas in health care today.  

In the first year the fellow will work with faculty mentors on current research projects. By the second year, the fellow will initiate their own research project, and will be expected to present plans and findings to peers and mentors, and at appropriate regional and national meetings. Following successful completion of formal coursework at The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice, the fellow will earn a Master of Science degree in Healthcare Research. The fellow will receive a salary in accordance with the NIH Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship stipend levels, as well as health insurance coverage. Tuition and fees at the Dartmouth Institute and a travel allowance for attendance at scientific meetings will also be paid by the fellowship.

The fellow will spend at least 20% time caring for patients in the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Primary Care Clinic at Heater Rd, Lebanon, NH, and/or the Center for Pain and Spine at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. The volume of patients seen with spinal pain conditions is substantial and will provide ample opportunity for the fellow to advance their skills in this academic medical setting with a well-established Primary Care Spine Program. The fellow will receive clinical mentoring from both a chiropractor and a primary care physician.
