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.

Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?
Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?

More than 100 doctors of chiropractic participated in relief efforts following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that left 2,753 dead and far more than the New York City skyline forever altered. Dr. Richard Gorgo Jr. was one of those DCs who selflessly donated his time, skill and compassion during that surreal, yet all-too-real moment in history. This is his remarkable story, originally published on the 10-year anniversary in 2011. Where were you when the world stopped turning? For Dr. Gorgo, the answer is Ground Zero.
