CMCC Receives Unprecedented 10-Year Consent to Award DC Degree

The Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) has received written confirmation from the Honourable John Milloy, Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities, that he is granting continued consent for CMCC to award the doctor of chiropractic degree to its graduates for an unprecedented 10-year period.

According to Dr. Jean Moss, President of CMCC, this completes the documentation and verification of CMCC's adherence to standards established by the Postsecondary Education Quality Assessment Board (PEQAB) and financial and student protection measures set out in legislation, for private institutions granted the right and privilege to offer degrees in Ontario.

CMCC was the first private academic institution granted consent to offer a second-entry health profession baccalaureate degree in Ontario - a degree on par with other health professional degrees such as medicine and dentistry. We are proud to build on that legacy by becoming the first institution to be granted this extended period of consent - the maximum consent period granted in the past was five years.

Corporate medicine's endgame wants only two things from chiropractic: all our patients and all our money – and it is getting it.

Over the past two decades, more than 18 million spinal surgeries have been performed in the United States, and cervical disc replacements represent a fair share of those. Device recalls due to design flaws can place patients in difficult clinical situations, especially those who are symptomatic and reluctant to undergo revision surgery. This case highlights the role of chiropractors in managing complex postsurgical patients, particularly those with recalled spinal implants.

UnitedHealthcare Removing Prior Authorization for Chiropractic

UnitedHealth Group, parent company of UnitedHealthcare, has announced sweeping changes to its prior-authorization (PA) requirements that will eliminate the requirement for chiropractic care and numerous other healthcare services by the end of 2026. Doctors of chiropractic, other providers and patients have long lamented prior authorization requirements because they can delay needed treatment, limit access and even cause some patients not to pursue care.
