Dr Sasha Aspinall recently attended the University of Alberta, completing the Chiropractic Academy of Research Leadership (CARL) program. She reflects on her experiences and how the program has impacted her research career.
I recently attended the final residential of the Chiropractic Academy of Research Leadership (CARL) program, which is a mentorship program for chiropractic ECRs involving 3 residentials at different universities run by 3 highly successful academics. Having completed the program, I’m now a Senior Fellow of the CARL program.
My cohort included 14 ECRs from 7 countries. I was accepted into the program in 2020, and as part of the program I attended residentials at the University of Southern Denmark in 2022, University of Technology Sydney in 2023, and most recently the University of Alberta in 2024. In response to COVID travel restrictions, my cohort also ran 2 highly successful virtual conferences called CARLoquium in 2021 and 2022.
The CARL program has given me incredible networking opportunities – many of my ongoing research projects are collaborations within my cohort and with the mentors - as well as leading to a fantastic support network.
You can learn more about the program by reading the recent CARL newsletter featuring Dr Aspinall (front row second from the left in our photograph).
