DCs Awarded FCER
Fellowships
for Research-Related Post-Doctoral Degrees
Six doctors of chiropractic from the United States, Canada and The
Netherlands were recently awarded Fellowships by the Foundation for
Chiropractic Education and Research (FCER) to pursue
research-related post-doctoral degrees. The doctors were awarded the
Fellowship grants at the FCER Board of Trustees meeting in Orlando,
Florida. Each year, FCER trustees review applications from doctors
worldwide to determine the grants.
“These Fellowships are important to the profession and to these
doctors since they encourage and nurture chiropractic and health
care-related research,” Charles R. Herring, DC, FCER President,
said. “These doctors all are involved with much-needed research
leading to published papers, contributing to chiropractic’s
evidence-based research needs. FCER is proud to support these
outstanding scholars as they add to their educational achievements,”
he added.
The FCER
Fellowships were awarded to:
-
Kathleen Linaker, DC,
who is seeking her doctorate (PhD) in Higher Education: Leadership
Foundations and Counseling Psychology at Loyola University in Chicago,
Illinois
-
Jacqueline D. Bougie,

Preventive Care at Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, California
-

“The primary objective of
FCER's Fellowship Program is to provide doctors of chiropractic with
advanced graduate education which incorporates research training,” Reed B.
Phillips, DC, PhD, FCER Vice President and chairperson of the FCER Research
Committee, said. “The intent of the program is to increase the numbers of
trained chiropractic researchers. The FCER Fellowship program is one
component of FCER’s aggressive evidence-based research emphasis.”
FCER Fellowships are funded entirely by membership fees and donations. Foot
Levelers, Inc., a well-known manufacturer and financial supporter of
chiropractic, has donated $5 thousand to help support these grants. The FCER
Board of Trustees gratefully acknowledges all Members and Donors who help
make this program possible.
FCER is the chiropractic profession’s oldest not-for-profit foundation,
serving the profession since 1944. FCER is based in Norwalk, Iowa, and has
as its mission to “Translate Research into Practice” by granting funds for
research and producing practitioner and patient educational materials
including teleconferences, CDs, books and pamphlets. FCER is developing the
profession’s only Evidence-Based Resource Center.
