Educational accreditation
Educational accreditation of Chiropractic institutions, really began in earnest in the 1970's.
In the U.S., chiropractic schools are accredited through the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) while the General Chiropractic Council (GCC) is the statutory governmental body responsible for the regulation of chiropractic in the UK.[1][2] CCEs in the U.S., Canada, Australia and Europe have joined to form CCE-International (CCE-I) as a model of accreditation standards with the goal of having credentials portable internationally.[3] Today, there are 18 accredited Doctor of Chiropractic programs in the U.S.,[4] 2 in Canada,[5] 6 in Australasia,[6] and 5 in Europe.[7] All but one of the chiropractic colleges in the U.S. are privately funded, but in several other countries they are in government-sponsored universities and colleges.[8]
Regulatory colleges and chiropractic boards in the U.S., Canada, and Australia are responsible for protecting the public, standards of practice, disciplinary issues, quality assurance and maintenance of competency.[9][10] There are an estimated 53,000 chiropractors in the U.S. (2006),[11] 7,000 in Canada (2009),[12] 2,500 in Australia (2000),[13] and 1,500 in the UK (2000).[14]
