| Your Online Chiropractic CommunityFebruary 1, 2010 — New York Chiropractic College (NYCC) received the “green light” to deliver its Master of Science in Applied Clinical Nutrition (MSACN) program completely online from the New York State Education Department. The College plans to convert the nutrition curriculum to an online, distance-learning, Web-based format via Desire2Learn (D2L) by September 2010.
NYCC’s MSACN program is uniquely structured to provide a comprehensive professional education that will prepare graduates for employment in a variety of settings including private practice, integrative practice with other professionals, research, and industry consulting.
NYCC Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs Michael Mestan, DC, describes the new online initiative as “a successful team effort that significantly enhances practitioners’ skills and benefits patients.”
Designed for practicing chiropractors, current chiropractic students and all other qualified healthcare professionals (i.e., nurses, medical physicians, dentists, etc.), matriculants can complete this Masters level program entirely online in the comfort of their homes.
The online program, emphasizing an integrative and natural healthcare approach, distinguishes itself through an outstanding faculty, innovative and diverse curricula, and an emphasis on the applied use of clinical nutrition in disease prevention and management. This sort of advanced training enables practitioners to expand existing practices, offer more comprehensive treatment, and augment their professional success through interventions that incorporate diet, exercise, nutritional supplementation, and life style modifications.
