Abstract

This chapter introduces equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) represented in the chiropractic profession. Included is a description of what is currently known about EDI in chiropractic. Current activities and research related to EDI are described. Our analysis of available data and literature points out areas requiring further consideration and action to improve EDI within the profession. A call for action provides a model to address EDI issues for chiropractic and proposes a list of activities that will improve the chiropractic workforce to better serve the world’s changing population needs.
