National's Florida DC Program Awarded CCE Accreditation

National University of Health Sciences (NUHS) received notice on July 29, 2011, from the Council on Chiropractic Education regarding accreditation of its Doctor of Chiropractic degree program in St. Petersburg, Fla. The CCE has awarded programmatic accreditation to both the Illinois campus (reaccreditation) and the Florida campus.

National opened the doors of its Florida campus to welcome its first DC students in Fall 2009. Its facilities are housed on the campus of St. Petersburg College (SPC) as part of NUHS' participation in the University Partnership Center at SPC. Since 2009, National has successfully expanded its facilities, faculty and student enrollment, in addition to opening a clinic for SPC and NUHS faculty, staff and students on the St. Petersburg College campus.

"We are very pleased to receive this notice from the Council on Chiropractic Education, and will continue to work toward a high standard of program excellence at both our Illinois and Florida campuses," said Dr. James F. Winterstein, president of NUHS.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
