About our programs
Our international leadership programs provide essential career development and capacity building around TCIM.
The ultimate goals of our programs is to facilitate a sustainable CIM research culture able to produce evidence that supports the needs of patients, practitioners and policymakers.
Our programs include:
Strengthening Osteopathy Research and Leadership (SOLAR) Program
A program that provides essential research mentoring/career development and capacity building across the international osteopathy community.
Through the program 10-12 early to mid-career osteopathy researchers attend an annual 5 day/4 night residential at the University of Technology Sydney, Sydney.
International Complementary and Integrative Medicine (CIM) Research Leadership Program
A program that provides emerging CIM researchers a unique opportunity to mix with other researchers interested in CIM, to reflect and strategise in the context of not only their own career but the bigger picture of CIM research and the challenges/opportunities facing the national and international field.
International Naturopathy Research Leadership and Capacity Building Program
Designed and run at ARCCIM since 2016, this program provides early/mid-career researchers and academics focused upon naturopathy and/or naturopathy practice an opportunity to reflect and strategize in the context of not only their own career but the bigger picture of CIM research and the challenges/opportunities facing the national and international field
Chiropractic Academy of Research Leadership
The Chiropractic Academy of Research Leadership (CARL) Program is a grassroots initiative about positive, forward-looking, credible academic leadership within chiropractic. It aims to link promising early/mid stage career researchers who are dedicated to developing high-quality evidence regarding chiropractic as well as a global research network. CARL facilitates training on a range of mentoring, leadership, networking and research-specific skills relevant to early/mid-career researchers. CARL has been co-designed and is co-directed by Professor Jan Hartvigsen (Southern Denmark University), Professor Greg Kawchuk (University of Alberta, Canada) and Professor Jon Adams (UTS).
Running since 2017 and already providing support to over 25 early/mid-career researchers, the CARL Program provides a unique opportunity for the chiropractic field to instil mentorship at the highest level necessary for planning and developing the broad evidence-base for chiropractic practice and use on the international stage. The CARL Program draws upon rigorous, established methods and multi-disciplinary perspectives from across public health, health services research and clinical science to promote and conduct collaborations across and beyond the profession in order to help strengthen and further grow the integration and standing of chiropractic within wider health care teamwork and systems.
The program centres upon an annual week-long program residential
that rotates continental locations over the first three-year cycle. Each residential consists of an intense week of activities whereby Fellows receive individual mentorship, problem-solving, career development, insights into academic and research management and presentations and workshops from invited international senior academics. Alongside these structured sessions and activities, Fellows are also allocated time to explore areas of mutual interest for collaboration and partnership.
