HIGHLIGHTS
Update from PRESIDENT CLAY MCDONALD There is no better time than now to be committed to our mission. We are committed to maximizing human performance in our patients, students and ourselves. We are committed to improving the quality of our patients’ lives. We are committed to ever-expanding the depth and breadth of student education as well as the ongoing development of our faculty and staff. The last few months have been invigorating as our leadership team has worked to finalize Logan’s five-year strategic plan. We are excited to share highlights of this plan which provide unbridled potential and promise a bright future for Logan.
4 SUMMER 2014
College of Chiropractic We are actively revising our chiropractic curriculum to include greater emphasis on hands-on practice environments. Using the constructivist learning methodology, Logan students will be exposed to clinical skills earlier in their student career while still gaining a solid foundation in science and chiropractic knowledge. We are confident this curriculum change will create capable, reflective and competitive doctors positioned for careers in integrated health care settings.
We are also committed to building our enrollment to 850 chiropractic students, at which point Logan would become a selective institution in chiropractic education in the United States. As we implement more aggressive enrollment management strategies, we look forward to the continued growth of our College of Chiropractic.
College of Health Sciences We remain grounded in Logan’s traditions in chiropractic while moving forward as a leader in integrated health care. That said, we are looking to enhance our current degree offerings—Master of Science in Sports Science and Rehabilitation and Master of Science in Nutrition and Human Performance—by offering additional degrees that complement our flagship Doctor of Chiropractic degree program. In the future, students enrolling in our College of Health Sciences will have more career pathways. While we can’t make any predictions about the state of health care, we do know it will continue to evolve. Our focus will be on offering robust degree programs that respond to the challenges of our society and prepares graduates to meet present and future health care demands.
