In January of 2011, the New York Chiropractic College, a fully accredited multi‐disciplinary healthcare education institution, introduced a new graduate degree program: Master of Science in Human Anatomy and Physiology Instruction (MSHAPI), offered online to terminal healthcare degree holders and academic biologists teaching, or preparing to teach, anatomy and physiology (A&P) in the undergraduate college and university setting. The MSHAPI program consists of 36 credits, including 18 credits of Human Anatomy & Physiology Instruction, 12 credits of Instructional Theory and Practice, and 6 elective credits. The MSHAPI program leverages the A&P competencies acquired by the candidate in prior educational preparation by combining content expertise with instructional theory and practices. The first cohort graduated in December 2012. This study examines survey data reflecting student demographics, completion rate, and student evaluations of program design, delivery, and effectiveness.
