Abstrakt:	Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions are the leading cause of disability, resulting in up to 40% of visits to family physicians. Current primary care workforce shortages in Canada require other providers to maximize scopes of practice. Few MSK providers have been trained in team-based primary care settings. Study objectives included: (1) educating participating primary care teams through synchronous education, (2) educating Canadian primary care providers through asynchronous education, and (3) integrating chiropractors into primary care teams, whilst evaluating team MSK care knowledge/attitudes and integration experience. Results indicated improvements in collaborative competency, improved understanding and attitudes to chiropractic, and the importance of providing MSK care within funded primary care. Teams employed unique approaches to integrating chiropractors and indicated high demand for their services by patients and providers. Provision of MSK care without economic barrier is desirable and highly valued by teams. Chiropractors are well suited to participate in funded primary care teams in Canada.
