Improving integrative medical knowledge base is prioritized by the World Health Organization's Traditional Medicine Strategy 2014-2023 as one of the primary objectives in improving health and integrating complementary medicines into national health care systems. Understanding the views of NP and PA students toward chiropractic is vital to facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration as the role and number of midlevel providers in practice continues to increase in health care systems worldwide. Thus, this pilot study provides information on the knowledge, attitudes, and perspectives of nurse practitioner and physician assistant students specifically toward chiropractic. Understanding how NP and PA students perceive chiropractic may be beneficial towards building integrative health care systems. It is necessary for future providers to be knowledgeable in the area of chiropractic care in order to maintain positive interdisciplinary collaboration and achieve mutual patient outcomes of health promotion, disease prevention, and health restoration.
