Ann Carter: A Resource, Advisor and Friend

S TA F F S P O T L I G H T

Three decades of dedicated service to the Logan community “I will miss her friendliness, her warm smile and her ability to do just about anything at a moment’s notice.”

- DR. PATRICK MONTGOMERY

science division. “She has always been a great friend and incredible help, and I’ll miss her greatly when she leaves.”

(From left) Dr. Elizabeth A. Goodman, Ann Carter and Dr. George A. Goodman.

Throughout her 30-year career at Logan College of Chiropractic/ University Programs, Ann Carter has proved to be more than a dedicated employee; she personifies Logan’s commitment to students, staff and the chiropractic community.

With a deep knowledge of the institution’s operations, a passion for helping her colleagues, and exemplary service, Ann undoubtedly has played a role in helping Logan become one of the world’s premier institutions for chiropractic.

Whether she’s organizing a special event, greeting alumni, tracking down a missing package or assisting the board of trustees, Ann defines what it means to be Logan’s “go-to” person.

This December, Ann will retire as executive secretary to Logan President Dr. George A. Goodman. And though she will leave her post behind, Ann’s impressions on the Logan community will remain.

Compassionate and caring Ann began her long-running career with Logan on Aug. 30, 1982, as a secretary in the audiovisual department. By 1986, she moved into an assistant position in the Office of Chiropractic Affairs where Dr. Goodman served as vice president, and later became the executive secretary to Dr. Goodman in January 1993 when he assumed the presidency at Logan.

With her vast knowledge of the institution and access to Logan leadership, it’s not surprising that staff and faculty often make a point of dropping by to see Ann. But they insist it is Ann’s pleasant disposition that draws them in.

“I always enjoy sticking my head in her door when I am passing by and shooting the breeze for a few seconds,” said Dr. Daryl Ridgeway, associate professor and chair of the chiropractic

LOGAN COLLEGE OF CHIROPRACTIC/UNIVERSITY PROGRAMS SCIENCE AND NATURE ALIGNED IN BALANCE

Immediate past president of the Logan Faculty Council Dr. Brian Snyder was just a student when Ann joined the Logan staff.

During his transition to faculty member, Dr. Snyder found it easy to connect with Ann, who had become that familiar face on the second floor.

“I think people are drawn to her personality and compassion,” he said. “You’re never hesitant to walk in and talk to her if you have a problem. Her departure will be a void for all of us, and it’s going to be hard to find a replacement given Ann’s knowledge.”

Dr. Martha Kaeser also recalls Ann’s role as an information source during her years as a college student. Now as a faculty member and director of the assessment center, Dr. Kaeser finds herself returning to Ann’s desk, seeking professional assistance from her competent and resourceful colleague.

“Ann Carter brought a unique character and professional skillset to her position. She will be missed and her position will be challenging to fill because there is only one Ann Carter.”

- DR. NORMAN KETTNER

“I always go to Ann because I know she has the answers, and you could always count on her being pleasant and kind,” Dr. Kaeser said. “I feel fortunate to be friends with her and to have worked with her.”

Hardworking and trustworthy After working full time at Logan each week, it is not uncommon to find Ann lending her helping hands to Logan events on campus in the evenings or on weekends.

Bob Snyder, close friend and former director of Logan’s Learning Resources Center, said Ann puts in whatever hours are required and then will add hours that are not required to her day because she feels the job at hand is important or necessary.

For example, in the early days of ACC-RAC, before the installment of an executive director, it was Ann who co-organized the conference. In recent years, she has coordinated the 50+ Logan alumni gatherings along with organizing any other function the college needs.

“Ann has always been there to help or give words of advice, and I feel privileged to know her and to have worked with her.”

- DR. DARYL RIDGEWAY

Bob Snyder and Ann Carter

With all that can change in a 30-year career, Ann remains constant. Ann’s colleagues say she has always been hard working, positive and eager to help. Her close friend Bob Snyder says Ann’s love for her job contributed to her success. “She likes having a finger on the pulse of what’s going on at Logan,” said Snyder.

Friendly and full of life As December draws near, the Logan community will certainly take note of Ann’s absence in Dr. Goodman’s office. Staff said while they will miss hearing about her family and stories of her Italian ancestry (although she is half Irish, too), they know she will keep in touch.

As her chiropractor, Dr. Brian Snyder also hopes to continue seeing her both as a patient and as a friend. Dr. Kaeser also intends on maintaining their relationship. “As her friend, I know I’ll continue to see her outside of Logan, but here I’ll miss her professional help,” she said.

For Dr. Ridgeway, he will miss the opportunity to chat about family. He said he always knew that if Ann was having a hectic day, he could make her smile by mentioning one topic. “When I bring up her grandchildren, I just stand back and watch her face light up with a huge smile, especially when she talks about her teenage grandson, a budding musician,” he said. “I will definitely miss these talks the most when she retires.”

“I’m going to miss the opportunity to always stop in and say hi, but I wish her well in her retirement.”

- DR. MARTHA KAESER

Dr. Norman Kettner agrees. As professor and chair of Logan’s Radiology Department, Dr. Kettner has also known Ann since she first began her career at Logan. He said Ann thrived amid Logan’s fast-paced nature and loved finding solutions to challenges.

Because this story is a “surprise” for Ann, who would never have agreed to serving as The Tower’s cover feature, Bob Snyder shared information about Ann’s future plans. According to Bob, she plans to spend retirement with her family and friends and attend concerts, trivia nights or live theater. He said she also intends to stay close to Logan and volunteer at future Homecoming events.

“Her courtesy and efficiency were only exceeded by her presence, poise and professionalism—working with Ann was easy and productive,” he said. “From a personal perspective, Ann was warmhearted and her sense of humor always contributed to a welcoming environment.”

“Ann has truly been a fixture at Logan, and I think people will miss her presence and personality the most,” Bob said.

“No question, she’ll be a great loss to Logan.

Ann Carter has been a significant part of my life since 1986.

We have shared many experiences that occur with working together for 26 years. Specifically, we shared the drama of the Presidential search, while I was Vice President, in 1992, the untimely death of Ann’s life partner and husband Jack fifteen years ago, to Ann being our wedding planner in 2001.

You can only imagine how many storms, crises and chaotic events we have witnessed together. Ann is a devout Catholic who handles all problems with grace by quickly sprinkling the Holy Water she stores in her desk drawer along with making a quick call to the Pink Sisters that she keeps on speed dial. These actions have made this Lutheran a believer.

Ann has been intensely loyal and held together the office of the President with complete dignity. Over the past 26 years we have had literally hundreds of visitors and guests that I believe have gone away with the impression of being greeted with genuine friendliness and caring. Our office has always been a bee-hive of activity and yet, never once has Ann complained of the work load or hours.

Ann, Liz and I will always remain close friends. We have shared not only our Logan life together, but so much more beyond Logan.

LOGAN CURRICULA

Logan Students Learn Beyond the Classroom Online Curricula Expands to Serve Distance Learners Students worldwide are now one click away from the Logan educational experience. Today, the web transports our online curricula directly to remote learners, making the miles between our students and the campus fade among the distance-learning options. logical step called for taking the masterlevel program online.

The simplicity of the online learning experience contrasts with the laborious 10-year process Logan undertook to deliver its courses to scholars regardless of geography. What began with a federal grant earned in 2002 to purchase videoconferencing equipment has evolved throughout the years into accredited online curricula, including Logan’s Master of Science Degree in Nutrition and Human Performance now offered entirely online and on campus.

“We embarked on this journey a decade ago,” said Elizabeth A. Goodman, DC, PhD, Logan’s dean of university programs.

“It was obvious to our administration that Logan needed a learning management platform to incorporate web-based education into our on-campus coursework. We wanted to then take this platform and develop it into specific online coursework that our trained faculty could take to students across the country and around the globe.”

To make this vision a reality, Logan hired specialists to develop its distance education program and invested in Blackboard™ technology, which Logan’s Associate Vice President of Education Technology Vince McGee, MSEd, considers an incomparable distancelearning tool. With the top talent and 4

“We began seeking approval from the HLC to offer our master’s program as a hybrid where our faculty could share its class lectures with students online, while completing the hands-on instruction on campus,” said Dr. Elizabeth Goodman.

“This blended format met the needs of modern students and practicing DCs who desired advanced learning but had the barriers of time and distance to manage.”

technology in place, the Logan administration concentrated on its next move: creating the Logan hybrid and submitting it to the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association for approval.

Hands-on Care, Online Study The year 2007 forever changed the landscape of the Logan campus. Logan broke ground with its first Master of Science Degree in Sports Science and Rehabilitation. The program appealed to both Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) and non-DC students alike. With such a broad student audience and immediate demand for the courses, Logan’s next

LOGAN COLLEGE OF CHIROPRACTIC/UNIVERSITY PROGRAMS SCIENCE AND NATURE ALIGNED IN BALANCE

Behind the scenes, Logan administrators and its technology specialists, including McGee and Nicholas Farha, Ph.D., worked to perfect the technological applications and to demonstrate to the HLC that students benefitted from the same learning outcomes regardless of an on-campus or online delivery format.

“Throughout this process, our educational mission never changed,” added Dr. Elizabeth Goodman. “It’s our job to employ best practices that ensure students’ learning outcomes.”

According to McGee, this is where the Blackboard platform shines. He says Blackboard offers several matrices for Logan to measure student outcomes, including how much time the students spend logged into the course.

As the administration worked through its HLC review, Logan faculty had some homework to complete as well. “To teach courses online through our Blackboard system, our faculty has to become Blackboard certified, and the process is quite extensive,” noted McGee. “Our instructors have to succeed as online students before they can become online educators.”

Virtually Complete The approval and subsequent success of the hybrid program compelled Logan to return to the commission four years later.

This time, Logan was after something different: introducing its entire Master of Science Degree in Nutrition and Human Performance to students online.

Ironically, Logan’s earlier online achievements made it more difficult to earn HLC approval for the nutrition degree, as the commission has guidelines regarding the amount of online education an institution can offer.

“The current literature affirms our focus on online education and motivates us to continue working on behalf of the distant learner,” said Dr. Elizabeth Goodman.

“Research supports that online learning is an effective and preferred format for mature students who are seeking graduate education options. These young men and women are digitally savvy—they thrive in their own environments, and they’re independent, focused learners.”

After the commission’s site visit to Logan in 2011, it approved the new master’s program’s online format. Following this milestone, HLC authorized Logan to offer a variety of our undergraduate science courses online. Currently, Logan

provides the following accelerated science courses online and on campus: physics, chemistry, organic chemistry and algebra. Through Logan’s online channels, students can now complete two semesters of science coursework in only one semester’s time.

certain subject areas are mastered. Some of our greatest online tools include the discussion functions and Blackboard’s tracking mechanisms, which allow instructors to engage with their students and to know exactly where students are with their studies at any given time.”

A Look Online Logan’s online curriculum isn’t for everyone—only students who, just like their campus counterparts, submit to the traditional admission standards and earn secure access to the online coursework.

Once accepted to the program, online students enjoy the same instruction provided on campus and all of Logan’s student service offerings.

“There is no distinction among our Logan students,” confirmed Dr. Elizabeth Goodman. “All students receive the same attention and care regardless of where they take their Logan classes or the degree program they are seeking.” For example, Logan requires distance learners to complete an online orientation prior to their studies. These students have access to a 24/7 help line, counseling and all other services provided to students on the Logan campus.

Once students are online, they can select from a menu of tools and view the exact same materials provided to students in the classroom, including PowerPoint lectures, X-rays and multimedia content. They also can use dedicated online grading and discussion tools that promote interaction between faculty and students, and their fellow online classmates.

“Logan faculty members own their curriculum whether presented online or in the classroom,” said Dr. Elizabeth Goodman. “They have the latitude to design online courses so students, for example, can study ahead or review assignments during our trimester recesses, or they can prohibit advancement until

Future Plans Despite the progress Logan has made with its online curricula options, the administration and its technology experts remain focused on the future.

“Our current online coursework is open to all accepted students, complementing the practice of chiropractic but not requiring the pursuit of a chiropractic degree,” said Dr. Elizabeth Goodman.

“Take, for instance, our accelerated science coursework now offered online.

These students can enter one of our graduate programs or pursue a healthrelated degree from any college or university. Still, we’ve exposed them to chiropractic-based education, and that’s an immeasurable benefit.”

Next, Logan would like to offer a number of DC courses online, while exploring other degree programs as well.

Another area of focus is postgraduate education. “We need postgraduate offerings to be original and online,” said Dr. Elizabeth Goodman. “Now, some states only sanction postgraduate courses in the states where the DC is licensed.

We’d like to continue knocking down barriers to chiropractic-based education and make quality courses and instruction available to all DCs who wish to enhance their education. It’s important for Logan to stay ahead of this movement and continue advancing our online curricula to help our doctors.”

DONOR PROFILE

Words of Wisdom Spark Acts of Generosity Dr. and Mrs. Terry R. Yochum’s Gift to Logan Radiology Dr. George A. Goodman with Dr. Terry Yochum and his wife Inge.

“You have to give before you can receive.”

These words were shared with Dr. Terry Yochum early in his career.

“I once asked the chiropractic legend Dr. Monte Greenawalt the secrets to his success, and I’ve never forgotten his words,” recalled Dr. Yochum, DC, DACBR, Fellow, ACCR, owner of Rocky Mountain Chiropractic Radiological Center located in Arvada, Colo. “Back then, I remember telling Dr. Greenawalt I didn’t have much to give, I had little money but was working on a book.”

Dr. Yochum would spend the next six years giving what he could to his profession and all that he had to his book.

With his pen in hand, he wrote 10,000 pages, which took his secretary four and a half years working 50 hours a week to type.

His words, first printed by a medical publishing house in 1987, remain required reading for chiropractic students and serve as reference text in 100 medical schools worldwide. Now in its third edition with more than 100,000 copies sold, including 25,000 copies in use by medical doctors globally, “Essentials of Skeletal Radiology” opened doors for Dr. Yochum’s career and knocked down barriers for chiropractic.

“I was the first chiropractic author to have a book distributed by a medical publishing house,” added Dr. Yochum. “When my 8

LOGAN COLLEGE OF CHIROPRACTIC/UNIVERSITY PROGRAMS SCIENCE AND NATURE ALIGNED IN BALANCE

textbook became a best-seller, medical publishing houses took note and began printing more works by chiropractic authors.

I’m proud to have broken that barrier.”

With the success of his textbook, Dr. Yochum’s career quickly expanded from practitioner and author to international speaker.

The chiropractic radiologist who had once sought the counsel of Dr. Greenawalt, found himself as a global educator and mentor for thousands of chiropractic and medically trained professionals.

Putting the Puzzle Pieces Together “X-ray to me is like a puzzle,” commented Dr. Yochum. “As a chiropractic radiologist, I get to play Sherlock Holmes and put the pieces together to improve patient care. It’s a stimulating challenge for me, academically and clinically.”

According to Dr. Yochum, the X-ray guides the chiropractor.

The image can confirm an accurate diagnosis, which then leads to effective chiropractic treatments. “X-ray provides us with a window into the possible pathologies. Since the early 1900s, X-ray has served as a critical diagnostic tool providing for the comprehensive evaluation of patients.”

The puzzle pieces of Dr. Yochum’s career soon revealed greater opportunities to give back to his profession. Through new editions of his text, guest lectures and his practice, he gave his time and expertise; and then, he found a missing piece that would lead him home.

The Logan Connection Dr. Yochum led Logan’s radiology department in the late 1970s.

As department chair, he recognized the power of education in expanding the profession and chiropractic’s benefits. When he left Logan for a post as the director of radiology for the Institute of Technology School of Chiropractic in Melbourne, Australia, St. Louis remained home.

“My father practiced in South St. Louis, it’s my hometown and I frequently visit to see family and teach,” said Dr. Yochum.

“When I would come back to Logan, what I saw was the premier radiology residency program. I was so impressed with the department, led by my friend and colleague Dr. Norman Kettner, that I sent my daughter Alicia there. I didn’t graduate from Logan, but I chose to send my daughter here, which speaks volumes for the school and its radiology department.”

During a recent trip to Logan, Dr. Yochum saw a need— and responded.

“After visiting the health centers, my wife and I pledged matching funds so that Logan could immediately convert the three satellite centers to a digital X-ray platform, which was already present in the main clinic radiology suite on Logan’s campus,” said Dr. Yochum. “It’s something Inge, my wife and best friend, and I wanted to do.”

Dr. Yochum’s generosity emanates from his belief that “students are the future of the profession, and it’s important to give back to the future.” His actions also reflect the words he often recalls from Dr. Greenawalt.

Dr. Alicia Yochum, who graduated summa cum laude from Logan in December 2011.

“What Dr. Yochum gave to us at Logan is the capability to employ digital X-ray technology throughout our community health centers,” explained Dr. Kettner. “His matching donation facilitated the health centers’ move to rapid imaging communications between our department and the centers’ clinicians.”

Logan has already installed all of the digital X-ray equipment, thanks to Dr. Gary Guebert, BS, DC, DACBR, who managed the conversion. Now, the health centers and Logan’s radiology department electronically modify and move images, which Dr. Kettner says unifies Logan’s health center system, provides superior imaging compared to analog radiography and, ultimately, supports more efficient and accurate diagnoses.

“I’ve known Dr. Yochum for years,” said Dr. Kettner. “He’s industrious. He sets his eyes on a goal, rolls up his sleeves and gets it done. He’s also one of the most generous individuals I’ve ever met, in all senses of the word generosity. He gives of his time, knowledge and finances.”

Dr. Kettner describes the new technology as state of the art yet cost effective. “It’s important that we expose our students to technology and equipment they can one day use in practice,” he said. “Our department now is incomparable. We offer the best in technology and expertise.”

The Next Generation Logan’s reputation acts as a magnet, attracting supporters like Dr. Yochum and promising students and residents, including Dr. Alicia Yochum.

“Alicia had no idea that her mother and I were going to make this gift,” said Dr. Yochum. “This gift is for the future of all Logan graduates and our profession.”

As for Dr. Alicia Yochum, who graduated summa cum laude from Logan in December 2011, the former ICU-nurse now spends her days working in her father’s former department under the direction of Dr. Kettner as a radiology resident.

“I’m so proud of Alicia and her accomplishments,” said Dr. Yochum. “She represents the third generation in our family to practice chiropractic and to pursue our shared passion of radiology. I know it would please my father, Kenneth E. Yochum, DC, and it certainly pleases me.”

Dr. Terry Yochum’s future plans call for continued giving of himself to his beloved profession. Often asked to speak at commencement ceremonies, Dr. Yochum seizes the opportunity to share what he has learned on his chiropractic journey.

“You can’t give yourself into poverty,” said Dr. Yochum. “I always impart this wisdom, which Dr. Greenawalt first shared with me, with recent graduates. We all have knowledge, energy and clinical expertise that we need to share with others. For me, I dedicate the majority of my gifts of time, expertise and finances to Logan because I want to give all I can to help keep Logan in the spotlight of excellence.”

10 L O G A N C O L L E G E O F C H I R O P R A C T I C / U N I V E R S I T Y P R O G R A M S SCIENCE AND NATURE ALIGNED IN BALANCE

Many Ways to Make a Difference We encourage donors to give annually— to Logan’s annual fund. Logan’s annual fund offers these designated giving opportunities.

Logan’s Area of Greatest Needs Some donors offer their gifts, leave their mark and allow Logan to determine how best to allocate their funds. Most often, Logan applies those contributions to timely operational needs. These gifts provide tremendous value to Logan and the students we serve.

The Assessment Center’s METIman Standardized patients represent one of the most significant assets provided inside the Assessment Center, and an educational best practice. These patients help create a safe environment for student exposure—introducing Logan students to specific clinical scenarios

before they’re encountered in private practice. Our students can then practice their specialized skills and techniques, earning immediate feedback from their “patient” and the observing clinician or Logan faculty member.

To augment our standardized patient practice, Logan recently purchased a human simulator, METIman. The fullbody mannequin ensures students experience pathologies that they may not otherwise encounter. METIman responds verbally and physiologically to actions or omissions by the student. For example, the human simulator is capable of presenting: reactive pupils; irregular heart; irregular pulses; carotid and abdominal aortic arterial bruits; and irregular blood pressure and respiratory rates, to name just a few. METIman effectively personifies conditions and scenarios Logan students learn about in class, providing them with a hands-on training experience conducted in a safe, simulated environment.

Amanda Smith and Jordan Pond

Finding Common Ground with the 3+3 Articulation Program By the start of his senior year of high school, Jordan Pond knew he wanted to be a chiropractor and could not wait to get started.

Luckily, there was a program in place, designed for people just like him.

Jordan’s guidance counselor at Northview High School in Brazil, Ind., told Jordan about the 3+3 articulation program, in which students complete their first three years of undergraduate study (at least 90 semester hours of specific coursework including physics, chemistry and biology) at their undergraduate home institution, then transfer to a chiropractic college to start their Doctor of Chiropractic program.

By the end of their first year in the Doctor of Chiropractic program, these students earn the credit hours needed to receive their bachelor’s degrees from undergraduate colleges while satisfying the basic science requirements and completing their first year of graduate studies leading to the Doctor of Chiropractic degree.

14 L O G A N C O L L E G E O F C H I R O P R A C T I C / U N I V E R S I T Y P R O G R A M S SCIENCE AND NATURE ALIGNED IN BALANCE

The guidance counselor pointed Jordan to Logan College of Chiropractic/University Programs, which has a 3+3 articulation agreement with the University of Southern Indiana (USI). Today, Jordan has a bachelor’s degree in biology from USI and is a Tri-7 student on track to graduate a year earlier than if he hadn’t enrolled in the 3+3 program.

“Logan’s 3+3 program was very convenient for me,” said Smith, a Tri-7 student who started her education at Hannibal-LaGrange University in Hannibal, Mo. “I was able to combine one year of undergraduate school with the beginning of my graduate education. This saved me money as well.

I’ve also enjoyed the convenience of finishing school a year sooner than my fellow students since everyone else attended four years of undergraduate school before attending Logan. I loved being able to attend the two schools of my choice. At both institutions, I experienced many personal and educational benefits while saving time and money.”

Jordan’s journey from high school to USI to Logan through the 3+3 program is a prime example of how a successful articulation agreement can work: academic institutions working side-by-side in the best interest of the student.

“To me, the 3+3 meant less debt overall and quicker turnover to doing something I love,” he said. “It was definitely the right decision for me financially and timing wise.”

More options for students Though 3+3 agreements have existed at Logan since the early 1990s, Logan’s admissions team has been taking a more strategic approach to the program throughout the past year and is further developing a national presence.

“What we are trying to do now is really cultivate the agreements and build up the existing program,” said Mary Nagle, assistant director of admissions. “The biggest advantage in partnering with colleges and universities is that it allows them to market to high school students.”

“To me, the 3+3 meant less debt overall and quicker turnover to doing something I love. It was definitely the right decision for me financially and timing wise.”

Ongoing communication was key throughout Jordan Pond’s time at USI and during his transition to Logan. He said it was the guidance and encouragement he received along the way from both institutions that gave him the confidence to stick with the rigorous curriculum.

“My advisor did everything in his power to make sure I was put in the classes I needed to continue on in the 3+3 program and was very supportive of it the whole time,” he said. “At the end of my first year at Logan, an admissions counselor contacted me to see how I was doing.”

Jordan said he would recommend the 3+3 program to anyone who is confident that chiropractic is the profession they want to pursue.

“It saves you money, especially if you are attending –Jordan Pond an expensive undergraduate school,” he said. “Plus, it allows you to move through the laborious Nagle said that forming a partnership with these educational curriculum a year earlier, taking you just one step institutions demonstrates a home institution’s willingness to closer to your goal.” diversify its curriculum and embrace chiropractic.

3+3 Logan currently has 3+3 articulation agreements with 50 colleges and universities across 23 states. The most recent institution to join the roster is Benedictine University at Springfield in Illinois.

Logan and Benedictine University’s agreement stemmed from a relationship built between Dr. Todd Lafrenz, Director of PreProfessional Health Programs at Benedictine University at Springfield, and Logan’s Director of Admissions Steve Held.

Throughout the years, Logan had received many Benedictine University graduates, and Held was already engaged with Benedictine, serving on a health care professionals’ panel.

“Health science is one of the fastest-growing areas for enrollment,” Dr. Lafrenz said. “With our recent additions of biology and health science degree programs, the articulation agreement with Logan made perfect sense. It gives Benedictine the advantage of offering students another career path to achieve their educational and career objectives while saving them time and resources.”

Students Jordan and Amanda Smith couldn’t agree more.

The 3+3 edge

In addition to giving students a competitive and financial advantage, the 3+3 program offers similar benefits to the institutions. In this day and age, Held said, it’s a win-win for both.

“Colleges and universities are seeing the big picture and are receptive,” he said. “The 3+3 partnership requires no financial commitment—it’s an academic agreement that serves the student.”

The articulation world has truly changed the cost of education.

For students, it is economical to start their chiropractic education before setting foot on campus; at the same time, the home institutions are broadening their prospective student base by offering more career options.

On Logan’s campus, it’s bringing students with a passion for chiropractic one step closer to their goal of providing exceptional patient care while also forming partnerships with new institutions whose educational missions align with Logan’s mission.

LOGAN PROGRAMS

3+3 Articulation Program Partner Institutions Fortunately, at Benedictine it was just a matter of plugging Logan’s curriculum into Benedictine’s health science degrees. From a curricula and a geographic perspective, the partnership was a perfect fit.

Of all articulation agreements that Benedictine University at Springfield and its parent, Benedictine University at Lisle, have with partner institutions, the 3+3 partnership with Logan is the only one where students earn both a Bachelor of Science and a doctorate degree—just another aspect of the program that Benedictine can tout.

fine-tune a path for them,” he said.

“One of the ways we’ll be doing that is through a letter of intent, which tells us which freshman students may be interested in this particular career path.”

Held also is working on a plan that will target three areas of the 3+3 program: focusing on institutions in close geographical proximity to Logan, forming partnerships with institutions that consistently send students to Logan, and further strengthening and leveraging Logan’s existing partnerships within the 3+3 program.

“It’s important that we stay in close communication with our partner colleges and universities,” he said. “The 3+3 program is built around giving students at a home institution a solid path to Logan. In a partner institution where we have that close connection, students have the greatest opportunity for success.”
