Anglo-European College of Chiropractic Recognized for High Standards

The Anglo-European College of Chiropractic (AECC) is proud to announce that it has achieved an excellent outcome from the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA). The QAA's mission is to safeguard quality and standards in U.K. universities and colleges, and all publicly funded higher-education institutions in the U.K. subscribe to this regular and stringent review of their quality assurance policies and processes. However, as an independent provider, it is unique for the AECC to be regulated in this manner.

Following three separate visits for a total of seven days, the QAA panel reached the following judgments:

  • The academic standards of the awards that the college delivers on behalf of its awarding bodies meet U.K. expectations for threshold standards.
  • The quality of student learning opportunities at the college meets U.K. expectations.
  • The enhancement of student learning opportunities at the college meets U.K. expectations.

The QAA also stated a number of particular features of good practice, which include:

  • The college makes use of a wide range of U.K. and European higher education and professional benchmarks for setting and maintaining academic standards, which also support clear progression routes into employment nationally and internationally.
  • The purpose-built teaching clinic, with associated guidance for students and staff, facilitates student learning and postgraduate research
  • The reciprocal benefits derived from final-year interns mentoring students in the clinic observation unit.

The QAA panel also concluded that the public information provided by the AECC about its higher education is current, reliable, useful and accessible to students, and that the AECC manages the first-year student experience carefully and effectively.

AECC's Principal, Professor Haymo Thiel, said: "Such a positive outcome from the QAA reflects a major milestone for the AECC, proving that a relatively small and independent higher education institution can punch successfully above its weight within a very challenging sector."

Court Rules Against No-Fault Insurers - Again
Court Rules Against No-Fault Insurers - Again

New York's highest court of appeals has held that no-fault insurers cannot deny no-fault benefits where they unilaterally determine that a provider has committed misconduct based upon alleged fraudulent conduct. The Court held that this authority belongs solely to state regulators, specifically New York's Board of Regents, which oversees professional licensing and discipline. This follows a similar recent ruling in Florida reported in this publication.

Gaze Stabilization: Clinical Relevance for DCs
Gaze Stabilization: Clinical Relevance for DCs

Keeping our eyes smoothly focused while moving is no simple task because even the simple act of running produces head velocities in excess of 550° per second with head accelerations up to 6,000° per second. Failure to properly stabilize our eyes to compensate for rapid head motion could allow our eyes to over- or undershoot specific targets, which can result in blurred vision, nausea, impaired balance, and a greatly increased risk of falling.
