A review of the Applied Chiropractic Department, at Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, was completed in 1998, involving faculty, clinicians and students, revealed that 87% of students are in favor of more exposure to named techniques. An assignment was designed to provide 4th-year students an opportunity to list and explain which, if any, named techniques they wanted in the core curriculum or as an elective program. The results revealed an overwhelming demand of the inclusion of Palmer HIO (100%), Thompson Terminal Point (100%), Gonstead (97%), Activator Methods (92%), and Active Release Therapy (80%) techniques either into the core curriculum or the development of an elective program. Conversely, the students recommended the continued exclusion of Torque Release Therapy (33%), Applied Kinesiology (27%), and Network Spinal Analysis (25%). Students appear to be undecided about Logan Basic (62%), Sacro Occipital Technique (53%), and Craniosacral (45%) techniques.
