Sherman College of Chiropractic is advancing its vision of bringing chiropractic to the world with admission and academic agreements in Costa Rica and Puerto Rico. President Edwin Cordero, D.C., along with several board members and an administrative team, recently traveled to both areas to continue building relationships with partner institutions.
Universidad de Iberoamerica (UNIBE) in San José, Costa Rica, and Sherman College are developing an articulation agreement to be signed this spring at Lyceum. UNIBE President, Dr. Emma Grace Hernandez and Provost/Vice-Chancellor for Global Strategies, Dr. Roberto Rodriguez will be representing the institution at Lyceum, Sherman College’s annual homecoming and continuing education event.
During his visit to UNIBE in January, Dr. Cordero joined Dr. Hernandez to sign a cooperative agreement designed to enhance the academic and scientific interchange between the two colleges. Recognizing the importance of collaboration and contributions to society made by institutions of higher education, the colleges agreed to promote exchange between faculty and students, as well as the exchange of academic and research information.
Cooperative agreements offer a way for institutions to work together and learn from each other. “We look forward to the collaborative work ahead, as well as sharing chiropractic with colleagues across the globe,” Dr. Cordero said.
Sherman College also seeks to secure admission and transfer agreements that present an attractive option for students who hope to reach career goals faster, Dr. Cordero explained. “Sherman College is excited to welcome students who are looking to join a healthcare career that will allow them to bring principled chiropractic care to their communities and make a difference in the lives of others,” he said.
The mission of UNIBE, according to its website, is to train professionals in health sciences, so that they have a humanistic vision, internationally competitive, and committed to their communities. The institution’s vision is to be the leading university in Latin America for training professionals in health sciences.
