A captivating and informative narrative, Pathway to a Profession, Chiropractic in Australia from Sydney College of Chiropractic to Macquarie University, presents as a major historical document and reference work of two emerging healthcare professions in the early twentieth century.

Pathway to a Profession recounts the origins of Chiropractic and Osteopathic training in Australia by the pioneers, Frederick Roberts, James Doyle, Maurice Blackmore, Ernest Kjellberg and Alfred Kaufmann. It focuses on the genealogy of chiropractic training at Macquarie University and the contribution of the Sydney College of Chiropractic towards the profession, with referenced documentation and illustrations.

 

The book is also a compendium of historic and contemporary photos from each graduating year of the SCC from 1959 to Macquarie in 2021. Teachers, mentors and colleagues can be found throughout the narrative. Many heartfelt recollections and humorous reflections by various contributors can be found throughout the chapters.
