The overall credit structure of the chiropractic program remains the same, but the sequence of when some of the content will be delivered will be reordered. Some coursework that has traditionally been taught in quarter 1 will not work in a remote environment.

That coursework will be pushed to a later quarter when it can be done in-person, while other content traditionally taught in later quarters will be taught sooner. The chiropractic profession is inherently a hands-on endeavor, so the first quarter of the program will include introductory, hands-on skills and techniques that can be taught virtually, then practiced remotely in your home.

In reordering the curriculum to accommodate online learning, the chiropractic program elected to move an introductory adjusting course Psychomotor Skills into the first quarter to help new students connect to the hands-on portion of the program right away.

The university had planned to offer in-person opportunities for quarter 1 students living in or visiting the Portland area but in order to be equitable and also consider the health and safety of our students we have developed virtual opportunities in Q1 to engage students and orient them to the program, its content, and its classroom and clinical instructors.

Q1 students will be placed in cohorts of students before the start of the program and assigned a faculty mentor for Q1. Throughout the first quarter, the faculty mentor will regularly engage the cohort with academic and professional instruction and guidance. The cohort model is designed to help Q1 students build relationships with classmates that will be in their in-person classes in subsequent quarters in the program.

By establishing these relationships early on, students will have a group they can study and learn with Q1 as well as throughout the DC program. Students who wish to utilize campus resources such as the library, fitness center, student services, or any other resource are welcome.
