MyCMCC Digest
Brought to you by CMCC’s Marketing and Communications Division
From the President
Welcome to a new academic year at CMCC!
I hope you
have had a
wonderful
summer
and you
were able
to stay
cool in the
blistering
heat
while you
enjoyed your time away. With
September’s return it is once again
time to hit the books. But I hope you
are as energized and excited for the
coming months as I am.
I extend a special welcome to the
newest members of our community,
the Class of 2016. It’s always
delightful to watch a new group of
students as they embark on their
journey to a future in chiropractic.
Whether you are beginning Year I
or a returning student, it is exciting
to continue the path toward your
career.
We are pleased to introduce two new
facilities this year to enhance your
educational experience:
I recently attended the official
opening ceremony of our expanded
clinic at St. Michael’s Hospital.
The health centre at 80 Bond St.
brings together physicians, nurses,
of Technology (UOIT) to establish
the new research centre here on
campus, the third research centre
for CMCC. It will led by researcher
nurse practitioners, chiropractors,
psychologists, dieticians, social
workers, primary care pharmacists
and dentists, each of whom may
play a collaborative role in patient
care through internal referrals. This
innovative model of interprofessional
care is itself a product of
collaboration between St. Michael’s
Hospital, CMCC, Ryerson University,
the University of Toronto, Toronto
Public Health and the Ministry of
Health and Long-Term Care, and
the result has been groundbreaking
—a tremendous benefit to patients,
health professionals, researchers
and students alike. CMCC is
enormously proud to be a part of this
exciting ”clinic of the future,” which
was recently identified in the Health
Innovation Report issued by the
Provincial Premiers’ Council of the
Federation as one of four primary
care models for provincial ministers
to look at as they implement reforms
to health care and delivery.
Pierre Côté (Class of ’89).
As well, CMCC has partnered with
the University of Ontario Institute
This builds on CMCC's collaborative
relationship with UOIT that will
provide exciting benefits for students
of both institutions for years to
come.
Keep a lookout for our regular
issues of MyCMCC Digest, as well
as emails from my office and the
Dean’s office for the latest news and
goings-on around CMCC. Make sure
you watch for an announcement in
November regarding Open School
Meetings as well for more in depth
reports. Until then, I look forward to
meeting you in the halls and seeing
you at our many special events
throughout the year.
Jean A. Moss
From the Dean, Undergraduate Education
St. Michael's Hospital is positive;
you are busy and interprofessional
collaboration is increasing. At
the Campus Clinic community
relationships are developing
with initiatives such as the TriCongregational Church exercise
program, which has interns working
with seniors on a weekly basis.
Welcome to the 2012-13
academic year.
I hope you have had a wonderful
summer and are ready for a
challenging and interesting
academic year. We have an exciting
year planned and look forward to
working with each student on your
journey to become a Doctor of
Chiropractic.
Interns, you are already well into
your final year at CMCC, and I
understand that you are off to a
wonderful start. Feedback on the
new internship opportunities at
To those of you about to enter Year
III, we are all excited about the new
CE3304, Integrated Clinical Practice
course. This case based course will
emphasize the relevant aspects of
evidence based integrated clinical
care to help prepare you for your
clinic year.
Year II students, you are about
to enter a very demanding year;
work hard and stay up-to date on
class work from the beginning so
that you will be successful. A new
lecture on the spinal cord, important
content for chiropractors, has been
added to Neuroanatomy. General
Pathology and Immunology were
From the President, Students' Council
combined into a single course,
Patho-Immunology, where related
topics (principles of pathology
and principles of immunology) are
well sequenced to prepare you for
General Microbiology.
For those of you joining CMCC in
Year I, welcome. We have an exciting
orientation planned for you and
hope that you take away a strong
understanding of the fact that you
are part of a professional program,
which carries benefits as well as
responsibilities. Everyone in the
Undergraduate Program is here to
help you become a leader in spinal
health, a Doctor of Chiropractic.
We look forward to working with
each of you throughout the year.
All the best,
Lenore Edumunds

On behalf of your 2012-13 Students’
Council, welcome back to all
students and a special welcome to

year with a fantastic Orientation
week. Students’ Council has been
working hard over the summer
planning activities to help you get
acquainted with the school, faculty,
staff and most importantly your
fellow students. Orientation week
activities are scheduled for every
day of the week, and events such
as the ‘Dinner Cruise’ and ‘Jet
Boating’ are guaranteed to leave you

CMCC Governor’s Club has donated
$50,000 toward an additional
camera to upgrade motion capture
capabilities. The Biomechanics
Lab has a single Optotrak Certus
position sensor that allows
measurement of simple movements
in a single plane (i.e. as with
flexion-extension). Like imaging
with x-ray, three dimensional
movements require two different
perspectives for best results.
Adding a second position sensor
will improve the ability to measure
complex movements and enhance
the study of extremity adjusting as
well as more complex spinal
adjusting.

imbalances are prone to developing.”
“At that point, I met other team members of the
national team as well as Zach’s coach, and I was
integrated into the program from there.”
Turner primarily works with the Track Cycling team
and even travels with them as they train, but she has
also worked with the Road Cycling team at World
Championship competitions, and recently with the
national BMX team as well.
Turner says the hips and pelvis are the most common
body parts she treats with cyclists. “It is common for
muscle imbalances to develop with the athletes being
in such an aerodynamic position: seated, and forward
flexed for so long. These athletes don't really do a

says. “Not only has it been phenomenal working with

As Canada cheered on our Olympic cyclists as they raced
for medals at the London Games, Jenn Turner (Class of
’05) was trackside, an integral part of the team.
Turner’s official title was Team Chiropractor, “but I
also am valuable as an extra set of hands at the track,”
she says. Turner extended herself beyond her role
as chiropractor through helping to carry equipment,
counting laps, holding bikes, videotaping, and providing
treatment or taping.
“During race day, I would do a lot of the duties that are
typically assigned to a person known as a Soiguenir,”
Turner says, which is a French word that in cycling
refers to someone who takes care of the team.
Turner learned at an early age that she wanted to be a
part of the sporting world. “I knew even in high school
4
that I wanted to have a profession that had to do with
sports,” she says. “I had some very strong role models
through university and at CMCC who were chiropractors
involved with sport, and I wanted to follow in their
footsteps.”
Turner gives credit to both Dr. Cam Borody and Dr. Jason
Pajazckowski as two very influential people during her
time at CMCC.
When Canadian Olympic cyclist Zach Bell was
referred to Turner for treatment at the Moveo Sport &
Rehabilitation Centre in North Vancouver, she had found
her way on to the Olympic team. Turner owns and works
out of the Vancouver clinic, as well as the Optimum
Sport Performance & Health Centre in Fraser Valley.
She says Bell, “had such good progress with his injury

Drouin family aim high
Congratulations to Derek
Drouin, CMCC intern Jillian
Drouin’s younger brother,
who brought Canada the
bronze medal in high jump
at the Olympic Games in
London. Derek followed
his sister into the sport,
watching her even as she
practised in elementary
school. Jillian was with
Derek in London for his
winning jump and described the experience as surreal,
watching many of her contemporaries and friends
Intense practice and a natural athleticism had enabled
Drouin to achieve a personal best of Olympic standards
in just over three years in the event.
competing at the games.
acceptable level of pain, for example and how to avoid
permanent injury.”
An elite athlete in her own right, Jillian competed in the
2010 Commonwealth Games and has a personal best
of 1.89 m in high jump. An injury capped her efforts
the following year, when she partially tore her patellar
tendon. Though she was not a candidate for surgery, she
was in the perfect environment at CMCC for conservative
treatment and therapy to help her heal.
Her injury forced her to modify her training and she
chose to devote herself to high jump and move away
from heptathlons, her other event, which consists of
a seven-part competition over two days that includes
100m hurdles, high jump, shotput, long jump and javelin.
In year IV, Drouin is making use of the slightly less
demanding schedule to ramp up her high jump training
from three to four hours a day, six days a week. Time
management skills and focus have enabled her to
make time for her education and her passion for
sport. She looks forward to being able to use her
understanding of the elite athletic mindset to help other
athletes in the future through her chiropractic practice.
“I understand the intensity of competition and the
sacrifices athletes make to compete. I know what is an
An increasing awareness and sophisticated treatment
of injuries makes it easier for athletes to continue in
the sport they love. Her brother, Derek, for example
sustained a severe Lisfranc dislocation with an
associated cuboid fracture, an injury that might have
been career ending a decade ago. Last year it was
diagnosed and treated within five days and he went on to
medal in the Olympics one year later. As Jillian Drouin
combines her passions of sport and chiropractic, she
gives herself the opportunity to continue to improve
her personal best, and will have the opportunity to help
numerous others achieve theirs.
