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.

Back pain? Blame the psoas. Seems as if everybody wants to dive headfirst into their psoas at the first sign of trouble with the lumbopelvic-hip region. Perhaps no other muscle is blamed more for causing problems than the psoas. Yes, it is an important stabilizer of the lumbar spine, but it shouldn't be the only one on which you focus. There is another big player on the scene: the iliacus.
Two closely related viruses of herpes simplex, HSV-1 and HSV-2, can infect the human body. HSV-1 mostly infects the gums and skin, although it can cause more serious infection in the brain. HSV-2 mostly infects around the genital area. Infection with the virus can be unsightly and painful, especially for HSV-2.
What’s the simplest way to ensure prompt payment for your claims? Ensure that the insurance payer has no reason to deny them. Submitting a “clean claim” from the start can have a more significant impact on your net collections than any other step in your billing workflow. Net collections and accounts receivable (AR) can improve significantly when claims are clean from the start.
