Palmer College of Chiropractic – Florida

Palmer College of Chiropractic was established in 1897 by Daniel David Palmer and is considered “The Fountainhead” as it was the first school of chiropractic in the world.^[1] For many years, Palmer College of Chiropractic was the world’s largest chiropractic school. Most early chiropractic schools were founded by Palmer alumni.

Palmer School of Chiropractic has a rich history, directly correlating to that of Chiropractic. While D.D. Palmer began the school, his son, also known as the developer of chiropractic, B.J. Palmer, greatly expanded the scope of the school and laid the foundation for the campus and profession that exists today.

The college is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, and awards degrees at the associate, baccalaureate, masters and doctoral level.

The Florida Campus is the newest branch of Palmer College of Chiropractic. It was opened in 2002 at 4777 City Center Parkway, in Port Orange, Florida. The campus is currently led by President Peter Martin, D.C. Enrollment is 741.

Submission #1, Halfway, 2011-2020,

The school is on a quarter system which has its pro’s and con’s, if you are looking for a more scientific based school, I would look else where. Palmer F is getting there, but the school is still rooted in its philosophy. The upside is at our school the straights seem to be dying off and we have more mixers who are wanting to have science to back what we do. The administration is lacking, they are politicians and for those that are old enough to understand what that means be aware. There are some incredible professors that teach at the school. The quarter system seems to go to fast and not give us the time warranted to focus on certain subjects per my opinion. In the end, I wish Logan was located in Florida because the school produces brilliant minds in our profession.
