PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

It is with great pride that I present to you the Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU) Annual Fact Book. This book covers the 2010 academic year (Sep 2009-August 2010). The Fact Book, developed by the Office of Supported and Institutional Research (OSIR), is a compilation of the most frequently requested data and statistical information about SCU. The publication provides both current and historical information about SCU, its students, alumni, faculty and staff, programs, and instruction. It is intended to be a comprehensive source of official university data. An electronic version of the Fact Book is available on the OSIR web site at http://www.scuhs.edu/research.aspx. We hope that it will

be a valuable resource to many.

Excellence in Healthcare through Excellence in Education is much more than a tagline at SCU and its more than a goal, it’s a fact. Since 1911, our institution has been dedicated to the highest levels of education and patient care. We have gained a reputation for excellence in evidence-based education. We provide students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to meet the many challenges of the changing healthcare environment. SCU offers outstanding graduate education in the healing arts through the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, the College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, and the School of Professional Studies. The academic programs are backed by excellent and dedicated faculty, an outstanding learning resource network, and a strong academic support system.

I would like to express my gratitude to the individuals who participated in the development of this edition for their valuable contributions in suggesting changes, providing data, and preparing the information for publication. Any additional feedback for future editions will also be greatly appreciated. Please contact OSIR at [email protected] with any questions or comments. Sincerely,

John G. Scaringe, DC, EdD SCU President

HISTORY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY OF HEALTH SCIENCES Dr. Charles Cale and his wife, Linnie, committed themselves to disseminate the knowledge of a little known, yet ancient, healing art – chiropractic. Dr. Cale sought to formalize the training of chiropractic physicians. By 1911, when moderate chiropractic was only 16 years into its history, Dr. Cale applied for and received a charter for Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (LACC). The Cales began the first classes in their home; a nine-month course of study that included anatomy, chiropractic principles and technique. Eleven years later, the College moved to larger and more modern facilities. The curriculum covered 18 months of study. During this period, it absorbed the Eclectic College of Chiropractic, a progressive, yet fledgling, school with a five-year history. The Chiropractic Initiative Act of 1922 established legal requirements for chiropractic education, California licensure guidelines and the first Board of Chiropractic Examiners. All of this served as the catalyst for enhanced academic programs and accelerated growth at LACC. The next 28 years were marked with continued curricular improvements and material expansion. During that time, LACC acquired many institutions, including Golden State College of Chiropractic; Dr. Cale’s second school, Cale Chiropractic College; College of Chiropractic Physicians and Surgeons; Southern California College of Chiropractic; Hollywood College of Chiropractic; California College of Chiropractic and the California College of Natural Healing Arts. The course of study was extended to 32 months. In the late 1940s, a nonprofit corporation, the California Chiropractic Educational Foundation (CCEF) was organized. It acquired several colleges, including LACC. As a holding company, CCEF created a new chiropractic college and retained the name Los Angeles College of Chiropractic. By 1950, the course of study had expanded to four years and the College moved to Glendale, California, consolidating its basic science subjects and chiropractic sciences into one comprehensive curriculum taught in one modern facility. In the late 1970s, the Board of Regents moved the institution in a bold, new direction. Determined to assure the stability of a progressive chiropractic college, it sought professional educational administrators to develop academic planning, facility usage and economic independence. In three years, the Board had succeeded in creating one of the most responsive and responsible institutions in chiropractic education. In November of 1981, LACC realized a dream-come-true when it purchased a new 38-acre campus in Whittier, California. LACC became the first and only chiropractic program to obtain accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and was one of the first chiropractic institutions to obtain federal grant money for research. The end of the twentieth century brought a major change to what had been LACC for the past 89 years. The College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (CAOM) was added and the Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU) was created to house both LACC and CAOM. This marked a turning point from an institution offering a single program to a multi-program university with plans of offering additional programs in what society has labeled alternative health sciences. In 2005, CAOM became the first AOM facility accredited by both WASC and the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM). As the new millennium proceeds, and as society continues to expand its embrace of non-medical forms of care, SCU stands as a leader to integrate the training of those who will be the providers of healthcare in the future. Armed with an evidence-based education and led by scholarly faculty, SCU will continue to be this century’s standard bearer of knowledge and training for practitioners of the healing arts.

ACCREDITATION

The Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU) is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), 985 Atlantic Avenue, Suite 100, Alameda, CA 94501. This accreditation is unequalled by any other alternative health care institution, offering chiropractic and acupuncture/oriental medicine programs, on the West Coast. In June 2008, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) Accrediting Commission reviewed and considered the Capacity and Preparatory Review (CPR) report submitted by SCU and based on this review SCU was approved to continue with the accreditation cycle and complete the third and final phase, that of the Educational Effectiveness Review (EER). The EER Report was submitted in November 2009 and a subsequent site team visit occurred February 2010. SCU received reaccreditation in July 2010 SCU received initial accreditation from WASC in June 1993. The Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree program of Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (LACC) at Southern California University of Health Sciences is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE), 8049 N. 85th Way, Scottsdale, AZ 85258-4321. Inquiries or complaints regarding SCU’s compliance with the DC Program Standards should be forwarded to the CCE. The DC Program is also approved by the California Board of Chiropractic Examiners. LACC has been accredited by the CCE continuously since 1971. The CCE is the agency to which complaints about the compliance of the LACC chiropractic program with CCE standards should be addressed. In August 2008 SCU received reaccreditation by CCE for another eight years. The College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (CAOM) program has received approval from the California State Acupuncture Board. The Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MAOM) program of SCU is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM), which is the recognized accrediting agency for the approval of programs preparing acupuncture and oriental medicine practitioners. ACAOM is located at Maryland Trade Center #3, 7501 Greenway Center Drive, Suite 820, Greenbelt, Maryland 20770. SCU completed the reaccreditation site team visit by ACAOM November 2008 and in February 2009 received reaccreditation status for six years.

Student Learning Outcomes (SLO’s)

SCU uses multiple measures to asses SLO’s; for example, pre- and post-tests, cumulative GPA by program, review of grade distribution by subject and instructor, ICE/ACE exams, student portfolios as well as external certification exams. Benchmarks are established for each student learning outcome. Specific SLO’s have been established for each program as well as for the institution as a whole through a collaborative process involving faculty and administration. The following SLO’s were developed based on documents Southern California University of Health Sciences created internally, combined with the requirements for accreditation as stated by WASC, ACAOM, and CCE.

For the following SLOs related to SCU, “Graduates” refers to graduates of degree and non-degree programs including certificate programs, continuing education, and CME courses.

Degree Program Graduation Rates

This rate is calculated as the total number of completers within 150% of normal time divided by the revised cohort minus any allowable exclusions. Graduation rates are calculated based on graduates only. A graduate is a student who completed locally-defined requirements for graduation. If a student is not considered a graduate by the local board of education, then he/she is not included in the graduation rate calculation.

Data is collected on the number of students entering the institution as full-time, first-time, degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students in a particular year (cohort), by race/ethnicity and gender; the number completing their program within 150% of normal time to completion.

AWARDS

Three major areas have been identified in the Faculty Performance Appraisal system that represent the various activities in which faculty are involved; these being teaching, service and scholarship.

The mission of the Southern California University of Health Sciences Alumni Association is to promote the continued growth and development of the University, its Colleges, its alumni and students. The Alumni Association is committed to building strong relationships and fostering communication between alumni, their alma mater and its students.

A Board of Directors and an Executive Committee, consisting of dedicated alumni chosen by the alumni dues paying members, govern the Alumni Association. Also serving as Directors on the Board, are student and faculty representatives who bring their unique perspective to their service in the Association. In 1994 the Board of Directors enacted a dues structure for membership that provided the Alumni Association with funds to support a variety of activities that advance its vision and mission. Since that time the Association has donated thousands of dollars in support of the University by supporting a variety of student and University programs and projects.

In 1984 the Alumni Association endowed a scholarship program to provide financial assistance to outstanding students who exhibit great potential for service and leadership to the University and alternative health care. Since that time the Alumni Association Scholarship program has awarded scholarships each term in two categories:

Alumni Association Scholarship Program

Scholarship for Continuing Students – a $1,000 scholarship for a student in terms 2 through 10.

Scholarship at Entrance – a $500 scholarship for a new student entering SCU.

The SCU Alumni Association is committed to bridging the gap for students between the academic environment of the University and the realities of private practice. The Alumni Mentor Network was developed to facilitate the exchange of knowledge, experience, and ideas between our practicing alumni and potential students as well as current students. Alumni from both LACC and CAOM have volunteered their time to interact with students on a personal basis. The AOM Mentor Network is available to all potential and current students through the SCU website.

Health Centers

The SCU health center is located on the Whittier Campus. This facility houses both the interns from the Los College of Chiropractic and the College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. In addition, students that are participating in the Massage Therapy and Ayurvedic certification programs also perform their internship in this facility. Additional services offered in the Whittier Health center include herbs and nutrition. There are plans for the future that include adding additional health care providers of various disciplines. Approximately 1/3 of our LACC and 100% of our CAOM interns are based in the Whittier Health Center. LACC interns maybe based at other health centers such as CSU-Northridge, CSU-LA, CSU-Fullerton, and Mt. Sac. Our outlining base clinics are multi-disciplinary including an LACC faculty member. They interact on a regular basis with all the multi-disciplinary healthcare professionals within the facilities. In addition, the LACC interns also participate in the CBI program which consist of private practice rotations that start early in their internship and continue until they graduate. Recently the College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine has been able to allow interns to participate in a Preceptorship program. The LACC interns also rotate through a variety of satellite rotations including Orange County Rescue Mission, the VA, LA Free Clinic, Being Alive, El Camino and Cerritos Community Colleges along with LA City Help. Below is a chart showing the average patient volume seen by the LACC interns in all of the outline base clinics and the combination of patients seen from both the Acupuncture and Chiropractic interns in the Whittier Health Center.
