A new articulation agreement between the University of Regina (U of R) and the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) is set to provide qualified students with the opportunity to complete both a Bachelor of Kinesiology and a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree in just seven years, instead of the typical eight.
This agreement allows U of R students to meet the requirements for their undergraduate Kinesiology degree at the U of R while simultaneously fulfilling components of the DC program at CMCC.
"We're thrilled to partner with the University of Regina to offer students in Saskatchewan a streamlined path to chiropractic," says Dr. Christine Bradaric-Baus, President of CMCC. "This partnership empowers students to begin their journey toward becoming a chiropractor right from the start of their undergraduate studies."
"The University of Regina is pleased to partner with the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College to provide our Bachelor of Kinesiology graduates with this exciting opportunity," said david Gregory, Provost and Vice-President (Academic) with the U of R. "Chiropractors serve an essential role in our primary health care system and this agreement facilitates the recruitment and development of our graduates into this in-demand profession."
"This agreement offers a unique opportunity for students from the University of Regina to fast-track their careers toward becoming practicing Doctors of Chiropractic," adds Dr. Mark Perrett, Chair of the CMCC Board of Directors. "It also presents a valuable benefit for students from Western Canada by reducing tuition costs and accelerating their entry into the chiropractic profession."
Consideration for entry into the pathway program begins this academic year.
