SCASA Students Eligible for USDE Financial Aid through 1995

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Though the Straight Chiropractic Academic Standards Association (SCASA) lost its accrediting status with the U.S. Dept. of Education (USDE), effective June 4, 1993, SACSA reports that its colleges have been granted continued eligibility to administer Title IV student financial aid programs through June 1995 by the USDE.

The SCASA board of trustees declared it will remain committed to the organization's accreditation responsibilities to its member institutions, the profession, and the public while its schools proceed through the accreditation process of the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE).

In a prepared statement, SCASA said it will remain active in the promotion and evaluation of high quality educational programs and will continue to work with the CCE and other appropriate agencies and organizations to ensure that the philosophy and tenets of straight chiropractic will remain intact and well-defined.

Should You Use Cash, Loan or Lease for Equipment Purchases?
Should You Use Cash, Loan or Lease for Equipment Purchases?

Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?

Chiropractic at Risk Globally
Chiropractic at Risk Globally

There has long been an attempt by those who are not legitimate doctors of chiropractic to usurp the title of chiropractor from those who have earned their degree from an accredited chiropractic program. This generally happens in countries where the local doctors of chiropractic have yet to pass legislation requiring a degree from an accredited institution. The result is essentially two chiropractic professions. Nowhere is this danger more pronounced than in Japan.
