U. du Quèbec à Trois-Rivières Placed on Probation

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

The Council on Chiropractic Education of Canada (CCEC) reports that its Commission on Accreditation (COA) has deferred a decision to reaffirm the accreditation of the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR). A sanction of probation, effective January 24, 2002, was imposed by the COA for "failure to comply with established accreditation criteria."

The COA said its decision was based on the procedures in the CCEC Standards for Doctor of Chiropractic Programmes. The COA has informed UQTR of the specific deficiencies that must be corrected to maintain CCEC accreditation. The CCEC Standards stipulate that the COA may revoke accredited status if a program fails to correct such deficiencies or otherwise fails to comply with the requirement standards.

The COA said it is committed to assisting the UQTR, but that "given the confidential nature of the accreditation relationship ... no further or more specific information about this matter will be provided."

DC faxed the UQTR for comment, but at press time the UQTR had not responded.

Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education
Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education

The chiropractic profession is confronting one of the most significant federal regulatory threats it has faced in decades. A new U.S. Department of Education (ED) accountability framework – commonly referred to as the “Do No Harm” (DNH) regulation – could place many chiropractic programs at risk of losing access to federal financial aid (student loans), potentially reshaping the future of chiropractic education and workforce development across the United States.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
