At its July 2004 semi-annual meeting, the Commission on Accreditation (COA) of the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE), the chiropractic colleges' specialized accrediting body, met with representatives of the Palmer College of Chiropractic (PCC) Doctor of Chiropractic degree program in a progress review meeting to discuss PCC's requests for substantive change to include Palmer Florida as a branch campus of PCC and the implementation of the Mastery Curriculum at the Florida campus. Following that meeting, the COA met in executive session and reached a consensus decision to extend accreditation to include the Palmer College of Chiropractic Florida (PCCF) site. As of this notice, PCCF will be included in (but not limited to) the regular accreditation cycle for PCC.
