Dear Mr. Petersen:
You have questioned whether the California Board of Chiropractic
Examiners is accepting applications to take the chiropractic
licensure examination from Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic
graduates. The answer to the question at this time is no.
To be eligible to take the examination in California a student must
have graduated from an institution having status with an
accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Commissioner of
Education, and be approved by California. Sherman College of
Straight Chiropractic has not, at this time, been inspected or
approved by the California Board of Chiropractic Examiners, or its
duly authorized representative as required by law. Therefore,
Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic is not currently included
on the Board's list of approved colleges.
Sincerely,
Board of Chiropractic Examiners
Vivian R. Davis
Executive Director

Dear Ms. Price:
At its June 7, 1990 business meeting, the Oregon Board of
Chiropractic Examiners voted to "put applicants on notice that the
OBCCE is currently in the process of producing a list of approved
chiropractic schools and colleges under the provisions of ORS
Chapter 684". The board notified applicants from all chiropractic
colleges that for the purposes of the July Oregon Proficiency
Examination candidates from all schools would be allowed to sit the
exams. This was done to allow the board time to evaluate standards
of accreditation and school curricula criteria.
The Board intends to adopt as a policy a list of approved schools
before the next Oregon Proficiency Examination in November 1990.
This list may or may not include graduates from those colleges
accredited by the Straight Chiropractic Academic Standards
Association (SCASA).
When a final list or a list of criteria is adopted by the OBCE, all
chiropractic colleges will be contacted.
The quote issued in the press release from Sherman College was
incomplete and drew the wrong conclusions. I hope this clarifies
the board's position. If I can be of further assistance, please
contact me.
Cordially,
Christie Joachim
Executive Director
