First of all, this chiropractor did not attend this school. He went to UHSA, got advanced standing for his chiro science classes, did a few online classes, did rotations he set up himself at a local hospital and got his degree. He didn't match, but somehow got a residency program to take him. He will be able to get a license, but not in many states. However, most states will grant you a license if you have been licensed in another state for X amount of years. Through the back door, long way, he may be able to practice in a lot of states.

More and more states are now COMPLETELY black listing ALL graduates of any school that offers online classes, even if you didn't take the online classes.

The balance will shift in the next few years. Either most states will NOT accept the online credits.. OR they will come to terms with the times and accept it fully. Remember this, Ross was bought by DeVry 2 years ago.. an ONLINE school. Even Johns Hopkins, Harvard and Yale, etc.. offer online courses and almost ALL states accept continuing ed that is completed online. The online universities are getting bigger and gaining credibility. Even elem. and high schools in California are letting 4000 students do all their courses online this year.

I personally like the traditional way of learning in a class room. I do believe that you can learn just as well at your computer, in most subjects. I also believe if you can pass the boards, who cares where you went to school and if you did it online.
The biggest obstacle is this.. Most MDs are thinking.. I had to sit in classes, you should have to sit in classes. The traditional people in medicine believe if it was hard and long for them, it should be the same for you. They want the next generation to do more, know more and endure more, even though they don't want to learn more or be required to do more continuing ed.

Just my two cents...
