The Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College is a non-profit, private higher education institution in Toronto, Canada.

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.

Education

Pursuant to section 5(1) of the Province of Ontario's Post-secondary Choice 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.[2][3]

CMCC's Doctor of Chiropractic program, a post-secondary professional educational program is accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education Canada of the Federation of Canadian Chiropractic Regulatory and Educational Accrediting Boards. [4]

Undergraduate

CMCC’s Doctor of Chiropractic program consists of four years of academic and clinical education, including 2 six-month internships in CMCC 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.

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.[5]

Graduate

CMCC introduced the Work Disability Prevention program, allowing regulated health professionals and Master’s level social workers to earn professional certification. An articulation agreement with the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic (AECC) allows Doctors of Chiropractic and other qualified health professionals to pursue a Master of Science, Advanced Professional Practice degree through CMCC, validated by AECC/Bournemouth University.[6]

Research

The foundation of CMCC’s research agenda includes special research centres – one which studies the biomechanics of treatment and outcome, and another to study implications on health policy and patient access to treatment. In 2012, in collaboration with the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), CMCC opened the Centre for Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation.[7] Research informs the undergraduate curriculum and will contribute to the body of chiropractic knowledge, elevate the quality of CMCC’s education program, and improve patient care.[8]

The completion of a research-related literature synthesis is a requirement of the Doctor of Chiropractic program. An elective research project is available to those students who have special interest or are considering a research track in their career.[9][10]

The CMCC campus has research laboratories, including a Biomechanics and Elastography Laboratory, a Tissue Testing Laboratory, a Materials Fabrication Laboratory, a Neurophysiology Laboratory, and a Cellular and Molecular Biology and Histology Laboratory. In 2001, CMCC established the McMorland Family Research Chair in Mechanobiology, the Research Chair position in an independent chiropractic institution.[11]

Patient care

The Division of Clinical Education offers clinical services for the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Five clinics are available to the public.

Since 2012, CMCC has had an expanded presence at the Family Health Team clinic, part of the Department of Family and Community Medicine at Toronto’s St. Michael’s Hospital.[12][13][14][15]
