One hundred percent of the D'Youville senior chiropractic students who took Part IV of the Chiropractic National Board Examination and Canadian Chiropractic Examining Board Part C in the fall of 2011 passed the tests and are now eligible to apply for licensure, according to college officials.
Nine students sat for the Part IV NBCE exam and five for the CCEB Part C. The national passing rate for this sitting of the Part IV exam was 90.7 percent and Part C was 79 percent.
D'Youville's overall board results can be found on its Web site. Both of these examinations are practical tests that examine candidate's clinical skills through the use of Objective Structured Clinical Examinations. The NBCE exam is offered twice a year and the CCEB is offered three times annually.
"We are most pleased with outstanding pass rate exhibited by our students on this recent examination. Such an exceedingly successful pass rate speaks highly not only of the quality of instruction by our faculty, but also of the extreme dedication and hard work exhibited by our students," said Dr Stephen J. Zajac, associate clinical professor.
To meet the New York State educational requirements for licensure as a chiropractor, an individual must have graduated from a Doctor of Chiropractic program accredited by the Council of Chiropractic Education and successfully complete the board examinations.
D'Youville started its multidisciplinary chiropractic program in 2004 and today enrolls 87 students.

Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
