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".

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.

Whiplash-Associated Disorder: Use of O’Donoghue’s Maneuver

Recently, I taught a 12-hour whiplash class to a group of chiropractors for continuing education. I taught that performing O’Donoghue’s maneuver enabled the providers to differentiate cervical strain from sprain. To my surprise, one of the attendees stated that it is not possible to diagnose a cervical strain and sprain with a whiplashed patient using O’Donoghue’s maneuver.
