New York Chiropractic College has received approval from the New York State Education Department to begin offering its new Master of Science in Human Anatomy and Physiology Instruction (MSHAPI) beginning in January 2011.
Delivered primarily online, the program is designed for doctors of chiropractic, other advanced health-care degree holders, and biologists with graduate degrees. Its graduates will be well-positioned to assume valuable teaching roles in colleges and universities.
"The MSHAPI approach is unique - it starts with a student already educated in anatomy and physiology course content and builds on that foundation, creating a highly trained instructional specialist for the undergraduate anatomy and physiology lecture room and laboratory," said Dr. Michael Mestan, executive vice president of academic affairs at NYCC.
Chiropractic students attending any accredited chiropractic institution may apply to enroll after successfully completing their anatomy and physiology course work. The curriculum for almost all aspects of this new program will be delivered online (excluding a one-week intensive teaching practicum held on the NYCC Seneca Falls campus).
For more information on this program please contact Kim McCrea, admissions counselor for graduate programs at kmccrea@nycc.edu or by telephone at 866-973-4679. You can also visit our Web site for program details.

When I graduated from chiropractic college in 1981 and started practice, I heard it all, and very little was positive. “You are a quack; you do not know what a subluxation is; you couldn’t get into a real health care program, so you chose the one that is slightly above a mail-order degree; you have no proof that chiropractic works; Are you really licensed?”, and so much more.

A central challenge in creating our identity is that chiropractic is a method of care, not a technique or procedure. This is an important concept for us to promote. Our patients are treated with lifestyle modification, exercise, nutritional supplements, diet and a whole-body approach to accelerate the natural healing process. We are not simply CMT providers.
The results of a global survey released late last year (2023) unveiled some startling findings among medical and nursing students. The “Clinician of the Future: 2023 Education Edition” surveyed 2,212 students, of which 446 were in the United States, from 91 countries.
