The College continues to utilize the latest technology within the curriculum to educate our students on locating and correcting vertebral subluxation . The Palpation and Adjustment Trainer ( PAT ) lab is continuing to help students to sharpen their adjusting skills inside and outside of the classroom . Technique courses are scheduled in the labs as part of the curriculum , and the lab has open times for students to receive extra support with their adjusting skills .
The Anatomage lab has been updated with eight brand new tables . The previous tables were outdated and replaced with new tables that include more features than the original tables . Some of those features include , but are not limited to , male and female cadaver , more tools for students to assess their knowledge , comprehensive Nerve Pathway Interactions , and the ability for students and faculty to access the table on a cloud / remote version .
Lastly , but by no mean least importantly , the College of Chiropractic ’ s student retention rates and completion rates continue to increase !
We want to say a huge ‘ Thank You ’ to all of our faculty and alumni who continue to support Life U ’ s mission , values and the growth of our programs in all that they do .
