University of Ontario Institute of Technology Signs Agreement with Chiropractic College

The University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) is helping students become a chiropractor in 7 years instead of 8. This is thanks to a new articulation agreement between UOIT and the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC).

“UOIT and CMCC share a commitment to innovation in education,” said UOIT President Tim McTiernan, PhD.

“This accelerated pathway will enable our students to further their education in less time so they can take an active role in helping others. In addition, cross appointments between our two institutions will enable the sharing of expertise and knowledge resources, allowing us to fully leverage the academic excellence resident at both institutions.”

Qualified students can now complete a Bachelor of Health Sciences (Honours) in Kinesiology degree and a Doctor of Chiropractic degree in seven years, instead of eight, thanks to the agreement making it easier to transfer credits. Also, members of the CMCC faculty will teach two new UOIT anatomy courses during the third year of the Kinesiology program.

“This articulation agreement will benefit our students who will be able to meet the requirements for both degrees, while fast tracking their education towards becoming a doctor of chiropractic. It will also allow the two institutions to collaborate and benefit from each others’ strengths,” said CMCC President Dr. Jean Moss.
