Talk:List of chiropractic schools

History of this article

For the history of this article, see the history here. -- Fyslee 08:36, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

New article

New and more correct title for article. The old article title (Chiropractic school) was singular... This change was made in response to the suggestion of an editor and was discussed on the chiropractic talk page. That article was simply getting too large. Appropriate wikilinks have been left in the right places. -- Fyslee 08:36, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

tag gone

I've removed the POV tag from the article. If you think there are POV problems, point them out. Cheers. --Hughgr 22:59, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Correction of a wrong info

On march 22nd the user '60.230.207.6' canceled the item 'France' to put 'Sweden' at the same place with untrue news: he stated that the swedish school recognized by ECCE , bt it's not true as everybody can read here: The European Council of Chiropractic Education. It's clear that this person wants to sabotage the French school of chiropractic. I put back the right Item with France canceling the wrong one with Sweden. It's true in Sweden there is a school, but it should be reported in the right way. At the moment the ECCE site does not present the Swedish college as a recognized one. In any case it's not fair to erase a right item. (see 'History of this article' to state the changes)

I also corrected inaccurate information. I removed the University of Bridgeport's name as a “school that was founded to support their founder's promotional business development and marketing efforts.” The University of Bridgeport College of Chiropractic was originally licensed by the State of Connecticut in 1990 and started instructional activities in 1991. The funding that the University received from the Professors World Peace Academy (PWPA) (which at the time was headed by a Rabbi not a member of the Unificationist movement) did not come until a few years later. Having been a faculty member at UB since 1991 I’ve never had anyone attempt to proselytize me or anyone else on campus. Thus, one could debate forever the motivation for the PWPA gifts to the University, nevertheless, it is in accurate to even imply that the College of Chiropractic’s founding had anything to do with the Unificationists.

Needing citations

I've removed these paragraphs and put them here because they need citations and I didn't want to tag every sentence. Some of it seems factual and some of it seems embellished. If citations are found, by all means re-insert it.

The naturopathic/metaphysical divide within the profession has seen a move away from the word "chiropractic" by several colleges, embracing a more generic "health" appelation instead of the traditional chiropractic nomenclature. The "naturopathic" schools de-emphasize traditional chiropractic metaphysics, adopting a pluralistic complimentary alternative medicine paradigm (applied kinesiology, acupuncture, Oriental herbalism, Taoism, Rolfing, nutriceuticals, phytochemicals, general manipulation, etc.), while the "metaphysical" schools emphasize B. J. Palmer's philosophy of Innate Intelligence channeled though the vertebral column to the extremities, where the Neuro-Vertebral-Subluxation Hypothesis of Dis-ease is putated to exist, and limits the practice of chiropractic to adjustments of the spine to restore neuro-cybernetic homeostasis, which restores the body's ability to transmit Innate Intelligence through the spine to the viscera, tissues, and cells. Course programs at the respective schools mark each school's orientation, and several schools adopt an eclectic hybridization. Both orientations differ widely from allopathy's neurology, orthopeadics, nutrition, physiatry, and rehabilitation.

Four of today's chiropractic schools were founded to support their Founder's promotional business development and marketing efforts. Both Life Chiropractic Colleges (GA,CA) were established by promoter Sid William's "practice management" motives, where doctors of chiropractic learned the skills to sell chiropractic to the masses. Parker College of Chiropractic (TX) was founded to aid the "practice development" of its promoter and founder James Parker's "practice-deveopment seminars" to build financial independence for chiropractic graduates. The Murdock University of Chiropractic in Australia is only tangentially-related to the Media Mogul Ruppert Murdock.

Merge discussion

I agree that either Chiropractic schools or Chiropractic school has to go and am open to arguments for either. ---- Dēmatt (chat) 05:22, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Go for it! It really needs to be done. -- Fyslee / talk 07:08, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Done. -- Levine2112 ^discuss 19:13, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Australia

I'm not sure its right to start off with "Chiropractors in Australia do not hold the title of Doctor" because it is untrue. All medics, dentists, vets, and chiropractors with 5 years of official education will almost always use the title/prefix of "Dr" in their workplace. Are you referring to the degree? Yes, in USA the degree of 'M.D.' (Doctor of Medicine) will be called 'Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery' here in Australia (MBBS). Similarly, the degree of 'D.C.' (Doctor of Chiropractic) will be called 'Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Chiropractic' here (Murdoch Uni). Tsufi (talk) 18:20, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

You you can provide a verifiable reliable source which confirms what you are stating here, then by all means update the page. Be sure to cite the source which you are getting the information from. -- Levine2112 ^discuss 04:19, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

My only sources are clinic websites themselves. For example, three graduates of the BSc/BChiro double-degree from Murdoch set up their own clinic called 'Western Chiropractic'. All three refer to themselves as Drs -> http://www.westernchiropractic.com.au/ (click on Meet the Team). This is the same case with any other graduate of chiropractic science from any of the other three universities which teach it here in Australia. I'll update now to something a bit more informative. Tsufi (talk) 18:20, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

As in Russia, Physicians are not give an "MD" degree or bachelor of medicine either! They receive a diploma which merely says "общее врач" , which translates to "generic physician".^Д-р_{СДжП,ДС} 21:08, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

We really need reliable sources that discuss this, rather than using our own knowledge. Do you have a source that discusses the degree that Chiropractors receive in Russia? DigitalC (talk) 22:29, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

The educational paradigm

Hey EBDCM, we need some references on the straight/mixer/reform statuses of the schools. Where are you getting that info? -- Dēmatt (chat) 05:05, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Its categorized by their curriculums, philosophies and treatment protocols. Reform is evidence-based primarily NMS; Mixer retains more traditional chiropractic techniques and philosophies and lexicon, straights are principle/subluxation based chiropractic colleges with strong sentiment tradional philosophy and practice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EBDCM (talk • contribs) 05:25, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

References were asked for and have not been provided. I looked at the websites of a few of the colleges and did not see any characterization as "straight", "mixer", "progressive" or "reform": only philosophical statements that the human body is considered an integrated unit or something like that. I plan to delete the classifications of the schools as "(Straight)" etc. Je regrette, EBDCM, mais it seems to me based on your comment that this information is OR. ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 22:39, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

I wish I had been aware of this discussion. I understand the concern about OR, and of course it is reasonable to ask for resources. Anyone who understands chiropractic will agree with some of the unsourced classifications, but without references we can only keep the one about Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic. Since the word is in the title, labelling it is superfluous. If we ever get around to providing references, we can reinstate some of the others. Just FYI, all the Palmer and Life schools are straight. Life is so straight that it lost its accreditation (from the chiropractic accrediting board!) for a short time. Nearly all the others could be classified as mixer schools. It is OR to classify any of them as reform, even though some of the professors are reform chiros. That OR is probably based on a wishful thinking attempt to make them appear more scientific. I'd accept classifying them as reform when I see a public statement that they have renounced belief in the chiropractic vertebral subluxation and then taken the consequences - to stop depending on spinal adjustments so much. It needs to become one tool in the toolbox, about the same size as the other tools, instead of currently being the size of the garage in which the toolbox lies in the corner ;-)-- Fyslee / talk 04:37, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Correspondance

What is this section supposed to be? Is it a references section? Is it implying that chiropractic schools offer distance education? DigitalC (talk) 05:59, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

I have wondered the same thing. News to me. -- Fyslee / talk 06:06, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

ECCE Accreditation and others

I have added a link to a list provided to me by the authorities in the ECCE. They asked me to edit this to show the distinction between the colleges, as there seems to be some ongoing controversy in Europe regarding accredited programs and the Chiropractic establishment. The document is one they provided me and I scanned, and made available online. I shall replace it with a direct link to the document as soon as they provide this, as I have requested. Regardless, the ICCE recognizes the ECCE and all the CCE's one another, and thus these are the accredited colleges in Europe.

I shall try to add links to some references to show the other regions of the World and notate if they are accredited by their regional CCE's as well.

^Д-р_{СДжП,ДС} 21:37, 29 October 2009 (UTC) I have added a link to a list at the request of the authorities in the ECCE. They asked me to edit this to show the distinction between the colleges, as there seems to be some ongoing controversy in Europe regarding accredited programs and the Chiropractic establishment. Some schools are just opening programs that do not meet a stringent requirement and I understand, ignoring the ECCE. The current listing is the official ECCE website.

I shall try to add links to some references to show the other regions of the World and notate if they are accredited by their regional CCE's as well. ^Д-р_{СДжП,ДС} 14:44, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

I also removed the "College" of Chiropractic Sports Sciiences (CAN), as this is a professional society, not a college, i.e. not a school. EAs, e.g. the "college" of cardinals in the church. ^Д-р_{СДжП,ДС} 15:41, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Added a wikitable to make the lists clearer and neater^Д-р_{СДжП,ДС} 21:05, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

References

• Should we be adding a reference for each school? Or, if it is accreditted, is the accrediation reference enough?

• If a school is NOT accredited, I think we should not list the accrediting agency, with a reference then though, as the school will not be listed by that reference.

• Should we really be linking to each and every school we list? Shouldn't we just wikilink to those that have relevant articles and not link to the others?

DigitalC (talk) 16:26, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Organization

Perhaps we should group the institutions by their accrediting agency? Like: Australasia, Canada, Europe, United States etc?
