NUHS Florida chiropractic program receives accreditation approval

August 5, 2011 — National University of Health Sciences (NUHS) received notice July 29, 2011, from the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) regarding accreditation of its Doctor of Chiropractic Degree Program in St. Petersburg, Fla.

The Doctor of Chiropractic Degree Program at the National University of Health Sciences is awarded programmatic accreditation at both the Illinois campus and the Florida site by the Council on Chiropractic Education.

National opened the doors of its Florida campus to welcome its first DC students in fall 2009. Its facilities are housed on the campus of St. Petersburg College (SPC) as part of NUHS’ participation in the University Partnership Center at SPC. Since 2009, National has successfully expanded its facilities, faculty and student enrollment, in addition to opening a clinic for SPC and NUHS faculty, staff, and students on the St. Petersburg College campus.

“We are very pleased to receive this notice from the Council on Chiropractic Education, and will continue to work toward a high standard of program excellence at both our Illinois and Florida campuses,” says Dr. James F. Winterstein, president of NUHS.
