CCE Planing Panel Meets in Chicago

Editorial Staff

The Council on Chiropractic Education's panel on planning (POP) met Aug. 18-19 for a strategic planning session on the council's future.

CEE President James Winterstein invited key members of the chiropractic community to provide input during the planning meeting, where a draft of a "white paper" was begun. The participants have been invited to attend a second POP meeting in Chicago, Nov. 4, 1993, to discuss that draft. The finished document will be presented to the Council for consideration at a workshop during the CCE's January 1994 meeting.

Results of a feasibility study, conducted by the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NCHEMS) for possible accreditation of paraprofessional and postgraduate education, were also presented and discussed. The consensus of the meeting's participants was that the CCE should consider expanding its scope to include the accreditation of paraprofessional and specialty/postgraduate education.

Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass chiropractic licensure state by state. The DCs in Japan must accomplish this nationally, which has proved to be an extremely difficult task. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.

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.
