Sec. of Ed. Renews Status of CCE's Commission on Accreditation

COA Receives 5 Year Extension
Editorial Staff

Secretary of Education Lamar Alexander announced August 18, 1992 that the Council on Chiropractic Education's (CCE) Commission on Accreditation (COA) is awarded continued recognition to August 1997, based on the recommendation from the National Advisory Committee on Accreditation and Institutional Eligibility.

In essence, this recognition is an affirmation by the government of the COA's status as an accrediting agency for the accreditation of programs leading to the doctor of chiropractic degree.

When chiropractic colleges seek CCE membership, it is the COA that is delegated the responsibility for carrying out the process of accreditation, institutional evaluation, and status decisions. Currently, 14 chiropractic colleges hold accredited status with the CCE.

For a closer look at the role of the COA, see the interview with COA chairman Dr. Marino Passero in the September 11 issue, or the interview with CCE President James Winterstein in the July 31 issue of "DC".

A supplement that can address inflammation, while also preventing certain types of cancer.

While canes, braces and posts represent extrinsic methods for lessening adductor moment arms, an intrinsic method for lessening the development of medial knee osteoarthritis occurs when the hip abductor musculature and the iliotibial band are strong enough to create a compressive force capable of stabilizing the lateral knee.
