WHO IS THE WCCS?
The World Congress of Chiropractic Students (W.C.C.S.) is an international forum representing the chiropractic profession. There are some 28,000 active WCCS members around the world that represent 32 different chiropractic colleges. Since its inception in 1979 the annual conference brings together an array of international student members to discuss issues pertinent to the chiropractic profession. The WCCS endeavors to accurately distinguish the international student consensus on issues vitally important to the chiropractic profession. The main objectives of the WCCS are to:
‘Unify the chiropractic profession from within and to unify the health care community with the interest of contributing to world health, well-being and to promote the exchange of new ideas from a student perspective.’
More extensive details can be found on the WCCS website, http://www.wccsworldwide.com/. Every year the international WCCS chapters converge on one destination for a one week congress to collaborate on significant issues from all over the world.
WHAT IS WCCSRESEARCH.COM?
WCCSRESEARCH.com is solely a student initiative that brings together student research projects from all over the world into one comprehensive database. This is done through the collaboration of all the WCCS College’s along with other affiliated chiropractic college’s. All the student research presented is compiled by chiropractic students completing their respective college's research course during their final year of study. Those research papers that receive a passing grade in their respective research course qualify to present their research project on wccsresearch.com.
The primary objective of WCCSRESEARCH.com is to directly influence the growth and development of the international chiropractic profession . The benefits to the profession and the community are exponential and include but are not limited to the following:
- Provide relevant, succinct and contemporary information for the chiropractic profession and the general public
- Encourage the expansion of ideas and research across the world
- Share knowledge from independent student research and enable the expansion and validation of previous research
