Education of Doctors of Chiropractic
Doctors of Chiropractic must complete four to five years at an
accredited chiropractic college. The complete curriculum includes a
minimum of 4,200 hours of classroom, laboratory and clinical experience.
Approximately 555 hours are devoted to learning about adjustive
techniques and spinal analysis in colleges of chiropractic. In medical
schools, training to become proficient in manipulation is generally not
required of, or offered to, students. The Council on Chiropractic
Education requires that students have 90 hours of undergraduate courses
with science as the focus.
Those intending to become doctors of chiropractic must also pass the
national board exam and all exams required by the state in which the
individual wishes to practice. The individual must also meet all
individual state licensing requirements in order to become a doctor of
chiropractic.
An individual studying to become a doctor of chiropractic receives an
education in both the basic and clinical sciences and in related health
subjects. The intention of the basic chiropractic curriculum is to
provide an in-depth understanding of the structure and function of the
human body in health and disease. The educational program includes
training in the basic medical sciences, including anatomy with human
dissection, physiology, and biochemistry. Thorough training is also
obtained in differential diagnosis, radiology and therapeutic
techniques. This means, a doctor of chiropractic can both diagnose and
treat patients, which separates them from non-physician status
providers, like physical therapists. According to the Council on
Chiropractic Education DCs are trained as Primary care Providers.
