Construct A Concreate Bathtub

Barcelona College of Chiropractic and the title "university" of chiropractic

From the beginning this list is spent on travel and university courses relating pseudo titles, that is, posing as scientists. But this time, and without a precedent (or serving as a precedent, we'll see) we will talk about a new category: about studies that are not just pseudo, but they provide pseudotítulo .

is nothing less than the Diploma of Chiropractic.

Chiropractic is a therapy called pseudo , despite its proponents say it is a health profession , the fact is that is not recognized as such in our country. And maybe not ever be reached because despite an attempt by a Autonomous Region, has now lost much popularity. Partly because of the numerous dirty rags brought to light the attempt (failed) of the British Chiropractic Association to silence the science writer Simon Singh through a judicial procedure . And partly, too, by the increasingly widespread evidence that that practice is not only ineffective, but downright dangerous .

Well, despite this there are two centers in Spain to give this title: Real Centro Universitario Escorial-María Cristina Barcelona and College of Chiropractics.

I speak in pseudo-day supply of RCU Escorial-Maria Cristina , which seems intent to offer their unsuspecting students degrees in all kinds of shoddy materials. Yes, without realizing that this is unofficial degrees. The center offers some careers officers, and nearly all with names very politically correct and all, but a glance at form the Ministry of Education can check that Chiropractic is not one of them.


But worse is even the case of the Barcelona College of Chiropractics. Indeed, in its web are limited to saying that


But not so in other places. So, nothing less than the Association English Chiropractic, in the same homepage includes a link to the Barcelona College of Chiropractics indicating that this is a "University in Barcelona":

And if there remain doubts in press release that was sent to various media to celebrate the 115 anniversary of the day when David Palmer was transformed from a sausage vendor miracle healer, again pointing out that

Although
still a long way to go, to study chiropractic in Spain is now possible since 2007 with the creation of two higher level university degrees : first, in the Real Centro Universitario Escorial-Maria Cristina (San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Madrid), Barcelona and College of Chiropractic, which took off last year. In both universities, it takes five years of study, and a final year to practice the profession [emphasis added].

Again, the finder Ministry denies such a thing with the addition of the Barcelona College of Chiropractic does not appear anywhere. Come on, that at most the "title" is valid between themselves chiropractors. In the future, we mean. Because now, apparently, not :


Anyway, this is already loop the loop: pseudoterapia, pseudotítulo and above, pseudouniversidad. More than in our list of shame, should enter the list of shamelessness ...
