IPSCA Submits Commentary to US Dept. Of Education Concerning CCE

Sep. 22, 2011, Rock Island, IL:  The Illinois Prairie State Chiropractic Association (IPSCA) along with the Florida Chiropractic Society, the Palmetto State Chiropractic Association, the Garden State Society and the Georgia Council of Chiropractic sent a joint letter on 9-16-11 to the National Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity (NACIQI) outlining our concerns with the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE).  The CCE has petitioned for continued recognition by the US Dept. of Education and the NACIQI is charged with reviewing that.

A major focus of our commentary was the review process and adoption of the new 2012 CCE standards.  During the review process, the above state organizations and other groups and individuals, provided commentary to the CCE task force appointed to review and to make recommendations to the CCE Council concerning new CCE standards.  This task force received an overwhelmingly negative response following the publication of its second and last draft of the standards. The prime reason for the IPSCA and the profession’s concerns was the removal of the core values and practices which are unique to the chiropractic healing art.  The second draft even omitted the historic chiropractic paradigm that D.C.s do not use drugs and surgery in practice!  The CCE task force ignored the majority of the chiropractic profession who did not approve of this radical change which encourages the shift of chiropractic education into the standard practice of medicine.  No valid explanation was provided regarding the rejection of these comments and the arbitrary adoption of the new standards.

It is our experience that the CCE has not taken the initiative to communicate efficiently and clearly with its constituencies, the students and the public.  Our hope is that the Secretary of the Department of Education will direct the CCE to make significant changes in not only its policies, standards and organizational nepotism, but also embrace a new openness or face the loss of its recognition.
