Chiropractic Education
Chiropractic education follows a formal University degree program and involves 4 years of education consisting of courses in anatomy, clinical sciences, pathology, histology, chiropractic sciences and technique, clinical diagnosis and treatment, physiology, nutrition, research, etc. as well as a clinical internship.
Independent investigation by government inquiry and medical practitioners affirms that chiropractic undergraduate training is today of equivalent standard to medical training in all pre-clinical subjects. Chiropractic students are taught by appropriate medical and science specialists (MD, PhD) as well as qualified chiropractors (DC).
