HISTORICAL VIGNETTE 4: REMOVING THE BIGGEST IMPEDIMENT OF ALL: THE AMA’S ETHICS-BASED BOYCOTT.
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
The first three historical vignettes recounted how, over a 15-year period, a small group of dedicated and determined chiropractors had significant impediments to interprofessional cooperation removed in Queensland. There remained however, a national impediment in the form of the Australian Medical Association’s policy on chiropractic and its ethics-based boycott against interprofessional cooperation with chiropractors in any form. The boycott began in 1978.
