NYCC Master of Science in Human Anatomy and Physiology Instruction Approved

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.

Whether you're already in-network or pondering whether to join, here's what you need to know.

Squaring the Geriatric Curve
Squaring the Geriatric Curve

The geriatric curve – the progressive decline in our health, fitness, mental capacity, and overall constitution – graphically appears as a downward sloping line over time. It is a culmination of the effects of sarcopenia, postural deterioration, frailty, and chronic noncommunicable diseases that occur as we age. While aging cannot be reversed, the goal is to reduce the negative slope or “square off” the curve, thus avoiding a steady decline in health. Here are five ways to get your patients started.

How Chiropractors Can Make It the Best of Times
The Best of Times, the Worst of Times

Imagine an environment in which DCs are tightly integrated with their local healthcare system; a trusted resource for PCPs, specialists and self-insured employers; are reimbursed in alignment with value created; use modern technology enabling them to fully engage with their patients; are self-governed; and are able to maintain a fulfilling work-life balance. In the final part of this three-part series, we explore three areas for chiropractors to focus on to leave the current foolishness behind and create “the best of times” for DCs and their patients.
