Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass chiropractic licensure state by state. The DCs in Japan must accomplish this nationally, which has proved to be an extremely difficult task. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.
Chiropractor Chosen to Teach at Cornell and Einstein Medical Schools
New York Chiropractic College's first Master of Science in Clinical Anatomy (MSCA) fellow, Kathy Dooley, DC, has accepted a teaching consultant (adjunct professor) position at Cornell Medical College and Einstein College of Medicine and will be teaching gross anatomy lab to medical students at both colleges.
Dr. Dooley intends to further develop her teaching skills at the medical colleges while building a practice in chiropractic and acupuncture. Having earned a DC degree in 2007 and begun her acupuncture studies at the Finger Lakes School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine of NYCC – a program she called "fantastic" – she now plans to complete her acupuncture master's course work in New York City while practicing and teaching.
"I am so immensely grateful to the faculty and staff of NYCC. Without amazing mentors like Dr. Rob Walker, my life would not have been possible. I am extremely happy, and doors seem to be flying open due to my experience gained at NYCC in the MSCA program," she said.
