Performance data from the Canadian Chiropractic Examining Board (CCEB) examinations for an eight year period, 1987-1994, were analyzed. These exams sample nine content areas: anatomy, chemistry, chiropractic practice, diagnosis and symptomatology, microbiology and public health, neurology, pathology, physiology, and x-ray interpretation and physics. Candidates from more than 15 chiropractic colleges have written the CCEB exams over this eight year period. The results indicate that there are substantial differences on mean performance by graduates of the various chiropractic colleges that wrote the CCEB during the study period. Factors possibly contributing to these differences are proposed. The implications for educational program evaluation and curricular revisions are discussed.
