Should you fail Physical Examination and Diagnosis in Summer 2011, you will be enrolled in the TR-4 class for Fall 2011 trimester.
Advanced Communication and History Taking
This is a new two credit hour course that is being added to TR-4 beginning in Summer 2011 as part of TCC’s Quality Enhancement Plan.
Research Methods and Clinical Biostatistics
This is a new one credit hour course that is being added to TR-4 beginning in Summer 2011.
Public Health & Hygiene
This TR-4 course is being eliminated beginning in Summer 2011. The material that is covered on Part I of the NBCE exams will be incorporated into Pathogenic Microbiology. The material that is covered on Part II of the NBCE exams will be incorporated into a one credit course that will be taught in TR-7 beginning in Spring 2012.
Pathogenic Microbiology
Pathogenic Microbiology is increasing from 3 credit hours to 4 credit hours in order to incorporate material from the Public Health & Hygiene course. Should you fail Pathogenic Microbiology in Spring 2011, you will be enrolled in the new 4 credit hour course for the Summer 2011 trimester.
Developing Clinical Reasoning Skills
This is a new two credit hour course that is being added to TR-5 beginning in Summer 2011 as part of TCC’s Quality Enhancement Plan.
Chiropractic Principles I – V

Beginning in Summer 2011, Principles II, III, IV, and V will no longer be offered. The new Principles curriculum will consist of a one credit hour course in TR-1, a two credit hour course in TR-6, and a two credit hour course in TR-7.
The first course in this series, CH-1110 (The Chiropractic Paradigm) will begin in SU-11 trimester.
