CCE Accreditation for University of Bridgeport College of Chiropractic

The University of Bridgeport College of Chiropractic (UBCC), the first DC degree program integrated as part of a university in the U.S., has received accreditation from the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE).

In an inter-office memorandum announcing the college's CCE accreditation, UBCC Dean Dr. Frank Zolli thanked the students "whose presence in an unaccredited program enabled the college to work its way through the professional accreditation process of the CCE." Dr. Zolli credited Neil Stern, DC, UBCC's accreditation consultant, for his wisdom and advice in helping the college achieve its goal.

"Our success ... is in part a tribute to the nation's other chiropractic colleges whose substantial programs created the basis of opportunity at the University of Bridgeport," said Dr. Zolli.

UBCC will introduce a semester-based curriculum in the fall of 1994, in which entering students will be taught for eight semesters over a period of four years. Additional plans are underway for research and postgraduate/continuing education programs.

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.
