PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
It is with great pride that I present to you the Southern
California University of Health Sciences (SCU) Annual Fact Book. This book covers the 2013 academic year (Fall 2012-Summer 2013). The Fact Book, developed by the Office of Supported and Institutional Research (OSIR), is a compilation of the most frequently requested data and statistical information about SCU. The publication provides both current and historical information about SCU, its students, alumni, faculty, staff, programs, and instruction. It is intended to be a comprehensive source of official university data. An electronic version of the Fact Book is available on the OSIR web site at: http://www.scuhs.edu/academics/research/factbook/.
We hope that it will be a valuable resource to many. 2013 was a groundbreaking year for SCU and I am honored to report what we
have accomplished. Every one of our achievements ties directly back to our Strategic Agenda and I am pleased to say that SCU is firmly staying the course. Throughout 2012 and 2013, SCU worked tirelessly to develop a First Professional Doctorate program in AOM. No university in the country has ever created such a program and I am thrilled to relay our success in this area. SCU has received full accreditation commission approval from WASC and we plan on launching our very first class in the Fall of 2014. This is the only Doctorate of its kind in the United States and I could not be more proud to deliver this message to all of you. Truly a pioneering effort, the development of DAOM speaks to SCU’s leadership within our profession. By offering strategic and innovative academic programs such as this, we are preparing our students to be even more competitive and effective in today’s healthcare environment
I’m also extremely happy to report that SCU has been chosen to participate in the first ever Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) chiropractic residency training program. In 2013, the VA unveiled its plan to initiate a chiropractic residency beginning in July 2014. After a highly competitive application process, only five VA medical centers and four academic affiliates were chosen nationwide to pilot this program. Several competing VA medical centers and academic affiliates attempted to earn the distinction of having a DC residency program so it is a true honor that Southern California University has been selected as one of the participating affiliates. We will be partnering with the well-known and well-respected VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System and together we represent the only VA residency program west of St. Louis, Missouri.
As SCU begins to transform itself into the premier healthcare university in the country, the University Health System has also undergone its own transformation. A new integrated treatment room was built for the Health Center last year. Normally our treatment rooms, also known as pods, are organized and separated by specialty so that the supervising clinicians are able to monitor students more easily. This new integrated pod not only desegregates a practice area, it also better utilizes the space. This pod is a perfect representation of our concerted effort towards creating student-centered interprofessional education and patient centered integrative healthcare.
I would like to express my gratitude to the individuals who participated in the development of this Factbook. Thank you for your valuable contributions in providing data and preparing the
information for publication. We welcome feedback for future editions. Please contact OSIR at [email protected] with any questions or comments. Sincerely,
John G. Scaringe, DC, EdD SCU President
HISTORY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY OF HEALTH SCIENCES Dr. Charles Cale and his wife, Linnie, committed themselves to disseminate the knowledge of a little known, yet ancient healing art – chiropractic. Dr. Cale sought to formalize the training of chiropractic physicians. By 1911, when chiropractic was only 16 years into its history, Dr. Cale applied for and received a charter for Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (LACC). The Cales began the first classes in their home; a nine-month course of study that included anatomy, chiropractic principles, and technique. Eleven years later, the College moved to larger and more modern facilities. The curriculum expanded to cover 18 months of study. During this period, it absorbed the Eclectic College of Chiropractic, a progressive yet fledgling school with a five-year history. The Chiropractic Initiative Act of 1922 established legal requirements for chiropractic education, California licensure guidelines, and the first Board of Chiropractic Examiners. All of this served as the catalyst for enhanced academic programs and accelerated growth at LACC. The next 28 years were marked with continued curricular improvements and material expansion. During that time, LACC acquired many institutions, including Golden State College of Chiropractic; Dr. Cale’s second school, Cale Chiropractic College; College of Chiropractic Physicians and Surgeons; Southern California College of Chiropractic; Hollywood College of Chiropractic; California College of Chiropractic; and the California College of Natural Healing Arts. The course of study was extended to 32 months. In the late 1940s, a non-profit corporation, the California Chiropractic Educational Foundation (CCEF) was organized. It acquired several colleges, including LACC. As a holding company, CCEF created a new chiropractic college and retained the name Los Angeles College of Chiropractic. By 1950, the course of study had expanded to four years and the College moved to Glendale, California, consolidating its basic science subjects and chiropractic sciences into one comprehensive curriculum taught in a modern facility. In the late 1970s, the Board of Regents moved the institution in a bold, new direction. In three years, the Board had succeeded in creating one of the most responsive and responsible institutions in chiropractic education. In November of 1981, LACC realized a dream-come-true when it purchased a new 38-acre campus in Whittier, California. LACC became the first and only chiropractic program to obtain accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and was one of the first chiropractic institutions to obtain federal grant money for research. The College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (CAOM) was added at the end of the twentieth century and the Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU) was created to house both LACC and CAOM. This marked a turning point from an institution offering a single program to a multi-program university. In 2005, CAOM became the first AOM program, accredited by both WASC and the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM). As the new millennium proceeds, and as society continues to expand its embrace of non-medical forms of care, SCU stands poised as a leader to integrate the training of those who will be the providers of healthcare for the future. Armed with an evidence-based education and led by scholarly faculty, SCU will continue to be this century’s standard bearer of knowledge and training for practitioners of the healing arts.

ACCREDITATION
SCU is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), 985 Atlantic Avenue, Suite 100, Alameda, CA 94501. SCU received initial accreditation from WASC in June 1993. This accreditation is unequalled by any other alternative health care institution, offering chiropractic and acupuncture/oriental medicine programs, on the West Coast. In June 2008, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) Accrediting Commission reviewed and considered the Capacity and Preparatory Review (CPR) report submitted by SCU and based on this review SCU was approved to continue with the accreditation cycle and complete the third and final phase, that of the Educational Effectiveness Review (EER). The EER Report was submitted in November 2009 and a subsequent site team visit occurred February 2010. SCU received reaccreditation in July 2010. The Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree program of Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (LACC) at SCU is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE), 8049 N. 85th Way, Scottsdale, AZ 85258-4321. LACC has been accredited by the CCE continuously since 1971. Inquiries or complaints regarding SCU’s compliance with the DC Program Standards should be forwarded to the CCE. The CCE is the agency to which complaints about the compliance of the LACC chiropractic program with CCE standards should be addressed. In August 2008 SCU received reaccreditation by CCE for another eight years. The DC Program is also approved by the California Board of Chiropractic Examiners. The Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MAOM) program has received approval from the California State Acupuncture Board. The MAOM program at SCU is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM), which is the recognized accrediting agency for the approval of programs preparing acupuncture and oriental medicine practitioners. ACAOM is located at Maryland Trade Center #3, 7501 Greenway Center Drive, Suite 820, Greenbelt, Maryland 20770. Initial ACAOM accreditation of the MAOM at SCU was earned in 2005. SCU completed the reaccreditation site visit by ACAOM November 2008 and in February 2009 received reaccreditation status for six years. The AOM Program is also approved by the California Acupuncture Board.

SCU Alumni Association The mission of the SCU Alumni Association is to promote the continued growth and development of the University, its Colleges, its alumni, and its students. The Alumni Association is committed to building strong relationships and fostering communication between alumni, their alma mater and its students.
A Board of Directors and an Executive Committee, consisting of dedicated alumni chosen by the alumni dues paying members, govern the Alumni Association. Also serving as Directors on the Board, are student and faculty representatives who bring their unique perspective to their service in the Association. In 1994 the Board of Directors enacted a dues structure for membership that provided the Alumni Association with funds to support a variety of activities that advance its vision and mission. Since that time the Association has donated thousands of dollars in support of the University by supporting a variety of student and University programs and projects.
Alumni Association Scholarship Program In 1984 the Alumni Association endowed a scholarship program to provide financial assistance to outstanding students who exhibit great potential for service and leadership to the University and alternative health care. Since that time the Alumni Association Scholarship program has awarded scholarships each term in two categories:
1. Scholarship for Continuing Students – a $1,000 scholarship for a student in terms 2 through 10.
2. Scholarship at Entrance – a $500 scholarship for a new student entering SCU.
Alumni Mentor Network The SCU Alumni Association is committed to bridging the gap for students between the academic environment of the University and the realities of private practice. The Alumni Mentor Network was developed to facilitate the exchange of knowledge, experience, and ideas between our practicing alumni and potential students as well as current students. Alumni from both LACC and CAOM have volunteered their time to interact with students on a personal basis. The AOM Mentor Network is available to all potential and current students through the SCU website.
Board of Directors of the SCU Alumni Association Alumni serving on the Board of Directors of the Alumni Association for the 2013-2014 academic year are: Executive Committee President: Roy Hughes, Jr., DC (1992) Vice President of Membership: Vice President of Finance: ASB Vice President of Alumni Affairs: Immediate Past President: Kurt von Rice, DC (1998) Directors: Robyne Captanis, DC (1990) Richard Cheung, DC (1998) Kathleen Fessenden, DC (1990) John Miceli, Jr., DC (2004) Winifred Monaco, DC (1999) Josh Samanta, DC (2000) Karen Bloch, DC (2012) Brianna Cheney, DC, L (2012) Alumni Representative to the Board of Regents: Student Directors: Faculty Director: Dr. Rochelle Neally CAOM Director: Diane Suk Kim, LAc (2006) Director of Alumni and Community Relations: Ms. Babette Teno
Health Centers The University Health Center is located on the Whittier Campus. This facility houses both the interns from LACC and CAOM. In addition, students participating in the Massage Therapy and Ayurvedic certification programs also perform their internships in this facility. Additional services offered in the University Health Center include herbs and nutrition. There are plans for the future that include adding additional health care providers of various disciplines. Approximately 1/3 of our LACC interns are based in our University Health Center and others may be based at other health centers such as CSU-Northridge, CSU-LA, CSU-Fullerton, and Mt. San Antonio College. One hundred percent of our CAOM interns are based in the University Health Center and may rotate to CSU-Fullerton. Our outlying base clinics are multi-disciplinary including an LACC faculty member. They interact on a regular basis with all the multi-disciplinary healthcare professionals within the facilities. In addition, the LACC interns also participate in the Community Based Internship (CBI) program which consist of private practice rotations that start early in their internship and continue until they graduate. Recently the CAOM has been able to allow interns to participate in a Preceptorship program. LACC interns also rotate through a variety of satellite rotations including Orange County Rescue Mission, the Veteran’s Administration (VA) Health System, LA Free Clinic, Being Alive, El Camino and Cerritos Community Colleges, along with LA City Help. Below is a chart showing the average patient volume seen by LACC interns in all of the outlying base clinics and the combination of patients seen from both AOM and Chiropractic interns at the University Health Center. 2013
