"Gaining approval from the Department of Education is exciting news," said Dr. Karen Doyle, MSHP program director. "Everyone at the college looks forward to welcoming the first class of MSHP students and to the launch of this innovative program."
The 36-credit-hour program, offered through Cleveland College of Graduate Studies on the Kansas City campus, is a distinct discipline that fits naturally within the institution. The college also offers the Doctor of Chiropractic degree, a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology, and pre-professional programs that accelerate health care careers.
The MSHP program, which is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and approved by the Kansas Board of Regents, is carefully designed to develop leaders in the vital and growing health promotion industry. The inaugural class will enroll in September 2010. The college will host a MSHP open house on June 17. For more information, visit www.cleveland.edu or call 800-467-2252.

Each year, ICD-10-CM is updated on Oct. 1. For 2026, there are 74,179 total codes, with 487 additions, 28 deletions and 38 revisions. Code changes are based on date of service, not the claim submission date. Services performed on/after Oct. 1 must use the new codes. While no changes affect the common spinal or extraspinal codes most frequently used by DCs, several updates may still affect your claims – particularly for comorbidities, referred pain, or trauma cases.
