A new articulation agreement between the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) will enable qualified students to complete a Bachelor of Health Sciences (Honours) in Kinesiology degree and a Doctor of Chiropractic degree in seven years, instead of eight. For individuals who identify their career path early, this agreement seamlessly bridges a foundational degree into a professional degree in chiropractic. “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.” Acceptance into the CMCC-UOIT Bridging Program will begin in September 2012.
