Currently, Dr. Halloran is also working on her postgraduate research fellowship at Yale Medical School on an integrative team that includes four other chiropractic physicians.

“Connecting this subset of the profession could lead to increased training opportunities for students, residents or research opportunities in musculoskeletal areas,” said Dr. Halloran. “This effort encompasses more than just the VA, but also DoD (Department of Defense), university and private sector positions.”
Following graduation, Dr. Halloran completed her clinical rotation at the Richard Roudebush VA Medical Center with Christopher Sherman, DC, in Indianapolis and completed a one-year residency program with the VA Connecticut Health Care System with Anthony Lisi, DC.
