NUHS Receives Accreditation for St. Petersburg DC Program

The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools has granted approval for National University of Health Sciences' Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine program offered through the University Partnership Center at St. Petersburg College (SPC) in Pinellas County, Fla.

The NUHS-St. Petersburg DC program is scheduled to welcome its first incoming class in September 2009.  Students may also start their degree program in either January or May 2010.  DC students at the NUHS-St. Petersburg campus will receive the same high quality academic and clinical curriculum offered at National's main campus in Lombard, Ill. Under the partnership agreement, NUHS will utilize SPC's campus and facilities to offer the degree.

"We're very pleased to announce this accreditation, which is one of several successful milestones we've crossed in bringing National's DC program to Florida," said NUHS President James Winterstein, DC.

NUHS is currently accepting applications for admission to its St. Petersburg DC program online at www.nuhs.edu or through its admissions office in Lombard at 1-800-826-6285.

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.
