Miss America Candidate, Doctor of Chiropractic
Sherman College of Chiropractic and the Miss America organization have renewed their unique partnership whereby the college donates a full-tuition scholarship to each of the 51 national candidates in the Miss America Organization on an annual basis.
"We are eager to reach more young leaders and share with them a health care career that embraces their commitment to serving others," said Sherman College President Edwin Cordero, DC. "I think it is especially fitting to join forces with an organization which shares our focus on service and our desire to make a positive global impact."

Palmer College Continues VA Hospital Academic Affiliations
Palmer College of Chiropractic recently announced new academic affiliations with four Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals: Mann Grandstaff Veterans Affairs Hospital (Spokane, Wash.); Tuscaloosa, Alabama Veteran's Affairs Hospital (Tuscaloosa, Ala.); Chillicothe, Ohio Veteran's Affairs Hospital (Chillicothe, Ohio) and Veteran's Affairs Pittsburgh Healthcare System (Pittsburgh, Pa.)
Since 2007, when Palmer College first formed academic affiliations with VA hospitals and Department of Defense (DoD) sites, more than 150 students from its three campuses have participated in rotations.
"Academic affiliations with VA hospitals provide our students with the honor of offering chiropractic care to U.S. veterans, while also gaining experience and additional training from staff chiropractors," said Ron Boesch, DC, CHC, CHPC executive dean of Palmer Clinics. "Acceptance to rotations is very competitive and allows students to see and participate in patient care in an integrated, multidisciplinary setting."
