Dr. John A. Dufton, DC, MSc, MD
The JCCA is delighted to announce that Dr. John A. Dufton has joined the Editorial Board of the Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association.
After graduating from CMCC in 1999, Dr. John Dufton returned to Vancouver and established a partnership with CBI Health in Burnaby and worked as an associate chiropractor with Dr Jeffrey Quon and Dr. Pauline Fedder. Under the initial guidance of Dr. Quon, Dr. Dufton was introduced to clinical research and the field of epidemiology. This resulted in John’s return to academic studies as an MSc student at the University of British Columbia. At UBC, his research on delayed recovery from whiplash associated disorders received funding from the prestigious Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research (where he was a research trainee) and from the British Columbia Chiropractic Association. This work was later to be published in Spine. In addition, John has co-authored papers that have been published in the Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and the British Columbia Medical Journal. After completion of his master’s degree in 2003 from the Department of Health Care and Epidemiology, John focused on further clinical work by entering the University of British Columbia’s Medical School. In 2007 John completed his medical degree and relocated to Kingston, Ontario where he is currently receiving his residency training in the Department of Diagnostic Radiology.
