How Well Educated
Is Your Chiropractor?
| Doctors of Chiropractic Have Six or More Years of College |
 |
 |
Have you ever wondered how much education your Doctor of Chiropractic is required to have compared to a medical doctor? Look at these basic educational requirements for graduates of both chiropractic colleges and medical schools. Each has its own specialties, but the hours of classroom instruction are about the same. |
 |
The early,
formative years of chiropractic education, like those or medicine, may have
left much to be desired. But this is true of nearly every science in its
infancy.
Doctors of Chiropractic must satisfy a demanding academic course that leads to a first professional degree requiring six academic years of study -- two years preparatory and four years professional. |
 |
Chiropractors
must meet stringent educational requirements, including approximately 600 hours
of externship, which qualify them for licensure in all states and Canadian
provinces.
Chiropractors are required to pass stringent national board examinations as a prerequisite for licensure in most states. And, in most states, the Doctor of Chiropractic must stay abreast of the latest health care techniques by attending seminars and other special study programs. |
 |
If you are in
need of relief from any of a wide range of ailments, pain, or suffering, don't
overlook the Doctor of Chiropractic. He or she has worked and studied many long
hours to gain the necessary knowledge to help you feel well again. Give your
chiropractor, and yourself, the chance you both deserve! If you know others who
are uninformed about chiropractors' education, why not share this information
with them.
