The purpose of our Extended Health Care (EHC) Advisory Council is to assist us in developing and executing our long-term EHC strategy as a complement to the Canadian Chiropractic Association’s (CCA) national strategy. It will also advise on ad-hoc Ontario issues related to chiropractic and EHC as they arise. The goal of the advisory council is to, through development and successful execution of an extensive strategy, help ensure chiropractic coverage is maintained or expanded in EHC plans for Ontarians and that the OCA becomes a key influencer and trusted advisor among EHC providers and major employers in Ontario.

Our Evidence-based Framework Advisory Council leads the process of developing a comprehensive understanding of evidence-based chiropractic care, within the universally accepted three pillars of the evidence-based framework: best available evidence, clinical expertise and patient preference, ensuring exceptional care for patients.

Our Student and New Graduate Advisory Council was formed to ensure that all voices are included as we go forward in advancing the chiropractic profession. The Council is composed of chiropractic students and recent graduates from Canada and the USA, who practice or plan to practice in Ontario.

The Council gives us valuable insight in providing the education and support needed to build a path to success, as students and new grads prepare for the transition into professional practice.
