CMCC Receives Unprecedented 10-Year Consent to Award DC Degree

The Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) has received written confirmation from the Honourable John Milloy, Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities, that he is granting continued consent for CMCC to award the doctor of chiropractic degree to its graduates for an unprecedented 10-year period.

According to Dr. Jean Moss, President of CMCC, this completes the documentation and verification of CMCC's adherence to standards established by the Postsecondary Education Quality Assessment Board (PEQAB) and financial and student protection measures set out in legislation, for private institutions granted the right and privilege to offer degrees in Ontario.

CMCC was the first private academic institution granted consent to offer a second-entry health profession baccalaureate degree in Ontario - a degree on par with other health professional degrees such as medicine and dentistry. We are proud to build on that legacy by becoming the first institution to be granted this extended period of consent - the maximum consent period granted in the past was five years.

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

Guidelines vs. Care: Bridging the Gap
Guidelines vs. Care: Bridging the Gap

What happens when best practices for patient care fall outside what guidelines endorse or insurance will cover? More importantly, how can clinicians ethically and effectively integrate non-reimbursed services that improve function, reduce disability and support long-term outcomes? These are not just clinical questions; they are economic and policy challenges that directly affect practice viability and patient access.
