Patient satisfaction with clinical services provided by chiropractic students under supervision compared to licensed chiropractors: An observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study investigated patient satisfaction with care provided by chiropractic students under supervision vs supervisors in a Danish hospital setting.

Methods

A cross-sectional observational study of patient satisfaction was conducted at the Spine Center of Southern Denmark, where chiropractic students from the University of Southern Denmark complete an 8-week internship in their final year of pregraduate training. Patients were assigned to students or supervisors based on administrative convenience (ie, natural allocation). Blinded from the aim of the study, all patients seen by a chiropractor (with or without a student) were invited to answer a questionnaire rating satisfaction with the clinical encounter. Results were analyzed using ordinal logistic regression
