CCE Planing Panel Meets in Chicago

Dynamic Chiropractic 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.

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.
