Our purpose. ChiroMovement exists to grow chiropractic's presence in schools and colleges, and to represent the profession with integrity, transparency and connection.

Your role

Your role

You already have one. The ChiroTrack modules teach five ways a whole chiropractor works: scientist, thinker, artist, teacher, entrepreneur. You don't have to pick forever. Pick the one that's most you this year, and take the three things under it.

Each one puts chiropractic in front of someone who hasn't seen it yet, and each one is small enough to finish. You don't need to buy a module to take a role.

Two rules before you start. You describe; you never rank a school, a program or an organization. And nothing here asks you to adjust or palpate anyone: the hands-on training belongs to school. You bring the work to campus by bringing someone licensed to do it.

Several actions end with sending us what you found or wrote. Send it to [BEN: where: an address, or the join form's 'What you'd help with' box].

Scientist

You ask a question that can be answered, then you go get the evidence. The path into chiropractic is unrecorded, and a scientist makes the record more true.

Three first actions

  1. Run the search for your own school and send what you find. Type your college or university into the Kaleidoscope pathway lookup, then run [BEN: the four words (data/four-words.md)] on your school's own site. Write down what comes back, the page and the date, and send it to us. Finding nothing is a finding.Where to start: Pathway lookup, in the Kaleidoscope · Can I get there from my college?
  2. Write up how you found your way in, dated. Facts first: who first said the word, where you were, what you'd decided before that, the first room you watched the work in.Where to start: Tell it at a hangout · Stories that show this role
  3. Bring one practicing chiropractor to campus, and record the visit. Two things you'll watch for, one question, and a page written while it's fresh.Where to start: Your state association, in the Kaleidoscope · Chiropractors who open their office

Thinker

You know what you believe and why, and you can say it in two sentences to someone who doubts it.

Three first actions

  1. Write up how you found your way in. Not a dramatic reason. A real one. Date it; it'll change.Where to start: Tell it at a hangout · Stories that show this role
  2. Host a campus talk using the handout. One room, twenty minutes, your way in, what the count showed with its “as of” date, one thing to do this week. No school names.Where to start: [BEN: handout link] · Pathway lookup, in the Kaleidoscope
  3. Run the search for your own school, and add one line: what your school's advising page says about chiropractic, in its own words. The search: [BEN: the four words (data/four-words.md)].Where to start: Pathway lookup, in the Kaleidoscope · Can I get there from my college?

Artist

You care about the craft, and you know watching skilled hands work changes what a person believes is possible.

Three first actions

  1. Bring one practicing chiropractor to campus. One email, one hour, a demonstration or a walk-through, whatever they and your campus allow. Watch the room while they work.Where to start: Your state association, in the Kaleidoscope · Chiropractors who open their office
  2. Host a campus talk built around watching: half a published clip or a live demonstration, half how the work looked to you the first time.Where to start: [BEN: handout link] · Stories that show this role
  3. Start or advise a pre-chiro club with a hands-on thread: one chiropractor visit a term, one episode watched together, one visit planned.Where to start: Student clubs, in the Kaleidoscope · Clubs

Teacher

You explain chiropractic to someone who's never heard it explained, plainly, and you listen all the way through.

Three first actions

  1. Host a campus talk using the handout, in the room where people who haven't seen the profession already gather. If a counselor invites you to a high school, you go through the adults there.Where to start: [BEN: handout link] · Bringing chiropractic to a school
  2. Start or advise a pre-chiro club, or be the person who teaches at its meetings.Where to start: Student organizations, in the Kaleidoscope · Clubs
  3. Write up how you found your way in, for the person you used to be. It becomes what you hand out at your talk.Where to start: Tell it at a hangout · Stories that show this role

Entrepreneur

You build something real from nothing, and you plan for it to outlast you.

Three first actions

  1. Start or advise a pre-chiro club, and write its operator's manual, so the person after you can run it. Name a successor before you need one.Where to start: Student organizations, in the Kaleidoscope · Clubs
  2. Bring one practicing chiropractor to campus as a standing event. Ask them to come back next term, and to name one colleague.Where to start: Your state association, in the Kaleidoscope · Chiropractors who open their office
  3. Run the search for your own school, and get the record kept: hand the result to your pre-health advisor. The search: [BEN: the four words (data/four-words.md)].Where to start: Pathway lookup, in the Kaleidoscope · For advisors, in the Kaleidoscope

Then

Come to the hangout and say which one you did. Bring one person who hasn't been.

The hangout → · Join the movement (18 and over)

Signing up asks which describes you: student, chiropractor, advisor and so on. Those roles are on Get involved. The lenses here are how you work; the sign-up roles are who you are.
