Funding & Independence
How this is funded
Who pays for ChiroTrack, who never will, and what money can and cannot buy here.
Today, ChiroTrack is funded by me personally, from my practice.
Students never pay. Everything you need to decide is free, and every seat in a cohort is funded by a chiropractor, college or organization that benefits when you arrive prepared. If a cohort doesn’t run, sponsors are refunded in full unless they ask to roll to the next one.
We publish our corrections, we don't rank schools, and no one pays to be listed.
What is free
- The guides: getting in, getting through and getting licensed. No account, no email.
- The directory: every kind of chiropractor, represented rather than ranked. There is no paid version.
- The data: what each accredited program costs and what its graduates earn, from federal sources, with the pull date.
- The Path Plan: five questions, then your next three steps and the accredited programs that match where you would study.
- The 33 seats in the founding cohort: applications are open, and the founding cohort is planned for Q1 2027.

Who pays, and for what
No prices are listed here. Anything an institution buys is quoted on request, in writing.
- Colleges
- Chiropractic colleges, and the universities and community colleges whose students go on to them, pay for programs their offices run: a register of chiropractors who host students, worksheets that put a transfer agreement to work, and lessons connected to practice. The institutions pages list each one.
- Practicing chiropractors
- Continuing education built on the same sources as everything here. In California, board provider approval has not been applied for yet, so nothing is on sale. Where that stands.
- Advising offices
- Pre-health and career advising offices pay for training and materials their advisers use: an advising playbook, prerequisite worksheets, and replies drafted for an adviser to approve and send.
- Associations
- State associations pay for work on their own questions: how students in their state can take part, and an outreach kit for the colleges that send students into the profession.
- Funders
- Foundations and individuals who care about who enters this profession fund student seats, and the sourced work underneath the guides and the data.
Every institutional license also funds named student seats, and we report on those seats to the institution that funded them.
Our commitments
- No institution can buy anything that changes what the directory says about it. Not a purchase, not a license, not a sponsorship.
- Every institutional customer will be listed on this page, in the list below, by name.
- Corrections apply to customers exactly as to everyone else. They go on the corrections page with the rest.
- Sponsors are disclosed, and never editorial. A sponsor is named where it sponsored something, and has no say over the guides, the data or the directory.
Institutional customers
None yet. This list will name every one.
Metrics we publish
Five numbers, published on this page so you can check the model against what actually happens.
- Founding cohort. Applications received, and seats filled out of 33.
- Funded seats. Student seats funded by institutional licenses and sponsors, and who funded each one.
- Revenue by source. The share that came from colleges, chiropractors, advising offices, associations and funders.
- Corrections. How many we published, and how long each took from report to fix.
- Where students land. Of the students who used ChiroTrack to decide, how many chose to enroll, how many chose not to, and how many are still enrolled a year later.
