Degree Program Purpose & Goals
New York Chiropractic College’s Doctor of Chiropractic Program carries out its mission, vision, and values, in part, through its preparation of Doctors of Chiropractic who are capable of serving as primary care physicians. In their roles as portal-of-entry healthcare practitioners, Doctors of Chiropractic perform patient management and conduct diagnoses, giving special emphasis to neuromusculoskeletal conditions. While fully appreciating the human body’s ability to heal naturally, Our school strives to advance research and scholarship, offer healthcare services to the public, and to engage in community service by:
- Allocating school resources, and providing opportunities, wherein students can secure the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that characterize successful practice, and that aptly demonstrate high levels of performance in the art, science, and philosophy of chiropractic
- Cultivating patient encounters in such numbers, quality and diversity so as to enable students to develop clinical competence and best practices through a doctor-driven, patient-centered mentoring process.
- Fostering community outreach programs intended to develop and demonstrate an enduring commitment to public service
- Overseeing the production of research and scholarly work that advances the understanding of chiropractic as both a natural healing art and as a specialty in higher education through the use of and interpretation of best available evidence.
- Fostering professional leadership of faculty and staff
