This paper reports findings of a research project undertaken to determine the attitudes and perceptions of acupuncture, chiropractic and massage therapy faculty with regard to online learning within their respective disciplines, and to determine what might persuade them to teach online. The results of this study indicate that the acupuncture, chiropractic and massage therapy faculty, in general, lack awareness of the capabilities of online education and what constitutes good online learning. There is also a perception that what they teach cannot be taught online due to its kinesthetic requirements; they hold this perception in spite of the success of medical science and related health care fields in the online environment. A review of the literature indicates that research to date has focused primarily on traditional higher education faculty and K-12 teachers, but in many respects the faculty in this alternative type of education fall into similar categories ranging from being willing to look at the potential of online education to outright dismissing it.
