Dr. Ralph Kruse, attending chiropractic physician at the Keiser University Spine Care Clinic and a faculty member of the College of Chiropractic Medicine was recently honored by being elected as a Fellow of the International College of Chiropractors (FICC).
“It is a well-deserved and fitting honor for Dr. Kruse, who has done so much to advance chiropractic science through his practice, teaching and research,” said Kimberly Lea, Keiser University’s West Palm Beach campus president. With the goal of seeking those who have made and who will make valuable discoveries and contributions to the further development of the science of chiropractic, those who render valuable and meritorious service to the profession and to bestow upon them proper degrees or awards of merit, the International College of Chiropractors was incorporated in 1938. It has a long history of honoring those deemed to have contributed to the development and evolution of the chiropractic profession.
Dr. Kruse completed his pre-medical degree at the State University of New York and went on to receive his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from National College of Chiropractic (now National University of Health Sciences) in 1990. He subsequently earned Diplomate status with the American Board of Chiropractic Orthopedics and the American Board of Chiropractic Consultants. Kruse is also a Fellow of the International Academy of Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine. Dr. Kruse practiced in Chicago from 1991-2017, prior to joining the faculty at Keiser University.

My instructors believed in me. They were more than instructors, they tried to get to know you as a person and tried to understand your goals so they could push you towards them. Student services helped me find a job before I even graduated. Everyone was dedicated to my overall success.
