CHIROPRACTIC COMPARED TO MEDICAL EDUCATION:
Prospective chiropractor students must have completed a 4-year bachelor’s degree program and necessary courses to even be considered for acceptance by a chiropractic college. After being accepted, chiropractic students undergo the equivalent of 4 years of classroom and lab work, each student must also complete an internship during which students care for patients under the close supervision of instructors. The following chart is a comparison of Chiropractic College course work compared to Medical College course work.
*This comparison chart is based on the review of curriculum catalogues from eleven chiropractic colleges and twenty-two medical schools.
