TORONTO - Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, which sold its existing property on Bayview Avenue and purchased a new campus property at 6100 Leslie Street, is expected to begin official operations at the new campus in 2004. The property will encompass five acres on the west side of Leslie Street, surrounded by a wooded conservation area and the Don River. It has an existing floor area of 115,000 square feet on three and a half floors, and has zoning approval for construction of an additional 35,000 square feet.
According to CMCC President Jean Moss, DC, MBA, size was the deciding factor dictating the move: "For many years, CMCC has struggled with a campus that is too small. It has been hindered by insufficient facilities for the growing demands of our student body, faculty and staff. Put simply: We outgrew the campus, both in capacity and the amenities it housed."
The 58-year-old college is raising funds for the state-of-the-art campus with its "Hands on the Future" campaign. Allen Stern, CMCC's vice president of institutional advancement, explained the rationale behind the campaign: "The expected support needed to complete a facility that provides modern technology and a comfortable environment for our students, researchers, faculty and staff will be $30 million. The Hands on the Future campaign goal is to raise the funds to complete this project and provide a campus that will be recognized as a world-class chiropractic education and research facility."
Dr. Moss echoed Mr. Stern's sentiments: We are entering an exciting new chapter in CMCC's history. After more than 57 years of educating and training chiropractors, CMCC has grown into one of the most pre-eminent institutions of its kind.... Now, we are building and raising support for our new state-of-the-art campus. We are making a new home for CMCC that will reflect and showcase our commitment to leading-edge chiropractic education and research."
The campaign has appointed chairs in every province. According to Vince Sinclair, DC, national co-chair (chiropractic profession) of the campaign, "These provincial chairs will be working chiropractors right across Canada to ensure we realize our goals."
On Oct. 16, CMCC will hold a gala event at the Sheraton Centre Ballroom in downtown Toronto in support of the Hands on the Future campaign. For details on the event, or for more information on the progress of CMCC's new campus, visit www.cmcc.ca or call (416) 482-2340.
Many relevant diagnostic signs are not performed deliberately by the examiner or by the patient at the examiner’s direction. They are observed as the patient reacts to their condition. Fortin’s finger sign, Minor’s sign, and Vanzetti’s sign are three examples of this principle.
Spearheaded by burgeoning scientific and clinical research literature, psychedelics have reached a level of media coverage and popular interest that has not been seen for over half a century. By “psychedelics,” we are referring to the unique class of substances that includes psilocybin (the active compound found in so-called “magic mushrooms”), LSD, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), ayahuasca, 5-MeO-DMT, and mescaline – each of which occurs in the natural world (except for LSD, which is a semi-synthetic compound).
While working at the Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque, N.M., one of the primary care physicians stated that imaging every patient prior to receiving chiropractic was not medically necessary. It was at that point I reconsidered the need for the imaging of every patient to avoid malpractice.
