The Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College is a non-profit, private higher education institution in Toronto, Canada. It has graduates practising in 37 countries around the world. CMCC focuses on the delivery of education, research and patient care.
Founded in 1945, CMCC is a not-for-profit corporation and is a registered charity. CMCC receives no direct government funding and relies on tuition and membership fees, and community and alumni donations to fund its operations.
Pursuant to section 5(1) of the Province of Ontario's Post-secondary Choices and Excellence Act, 2000, CMCC applied for consent to offer a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, which was granted April 21, 2004. CMCC awards a Doctor of Chiropractic Degree. The program is offered under the written consent of the Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities of Ontario for the period of March 24, 2011 to March 21, 2021.
The post-secondary professional educational programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels are accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education Canada of the Canadian Federation of Chiropractic Regulatory and Educational Accrediting Boards.
CMCC’s Doctor of Chiropractic program consists of four years of academic and clinical education, including a one-year internship in one of eight community-based clinics. Graduates complete approximately 4,200 hours of academic and clinical education, including studies in anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, neurology, clinical diagnosis, diagnostic imaging, and chiropractic sciences.
Years I and II of the curriculum emphasize the foundational courses in the biological sciences. Beginning in Year I, and becoming the emphasis of the program in Years III and IV, are the professional courses in chiropractic studies, psychomotor skills, clinical education, and the related health professional courses (business, jurisprudence, ethics and professionalism, research, etc.)
The Manikin Based Simulation Laboratory — a first for an independent chiropractic program — exposes students to a wide variety of rare and/or serious conditions that may be seen in a chiropractor’s office, using highly sophisticated computerized manikins. The Force Sensing Table Laboratory provides students with quantitative feedback on spinal manipulative psychomotor skills through the use of adjusting tables capable of assessing several biomechanical parameters of the adjustment. With the Gross Anatomy Laboratory, CMCC is one of only 10 educational institutions designated as a school of anatomy under the authority of the Anatomy Act of the Province of Ontario.
