Policy Christine Goertz, D.C., Ph.D., garnered
another prestigious award in August
when she received the 2013 Lincoln
Research Prize for Chiropractic and
Biomechanics at the Florida Chiropractic
Association (FCA) National Convention in
Orlando, Fla. At $20,000, the Lincoln
Research Prize is the largest research prize
in the chiropractic profession.
Among the outstanding nominees
for the prize, Dr. Goertz was selected
for demonstrating excellence in clinical
research completed during the years
2010-2012 that most significantly contributed to the body of
knowledge and also directly impacted patient care.
The prize was founded by its three sponsors, the Florida
Chiropractic Foundation for Education & Research, Lincoln
Chiropractic College Education & Research Fund, and FCA,
along with the Lincoln Endowed Research Chair at the
University of South Florida, to bring attention to chiropractic
research and build the image of chiropractic in the scientific
research community worldwide. The prize is awarded each year
to an individual who demonstrates the most outstanding
research productivity in patient-oriented, epidemiological and
health outcomes research related to chiropractic care.
“I’m truly honored to have been selected as the recipient
of the 2013 Lincoln Research Prize,” Dr. Goertz says. “Doctors
of chiropractic, our medical colleagues, patients and scientists
are now beginning to work together to figure out how to deliver
the highest-quality, patient-centered care possible. I want to
thank all of the prize’s sponsors and founders for recognizing
the importance of chiropractic researchers as part of this team.”
