How do you become a Chiropractor?
First, as with any school of higher learning,
pre-requisites - subjects required before admission - are needed for
chiropractic college. This may require at least Bachelors Degree depending on the institution. Also some
states require a B.S. degree along with the D.C. degree to practice in
their state.
The Chiropractic colleges are usually 4 to 6 year institutions.
In addition to classroom work, training includes an internship period where student chiropractors treat patients under the direct supervision of an instructor. Also, some colleges and states require an externship as well. However, the majority of the school work is done in the classroom or the laboratories.
Comparing Medical vs
Chiropractic Education:
Some people think that
Chiropractors do not have the "same" education as medical
doctors and are therefore not "Real Doctors". However, since
both work with the human body, much of the education is very similar - but
there are important differences that make each a different specialty.
The chart below compares M.D. and D.C. education and was compiled from 22
medical schools and 11 chiropractic colleges curriculum catalogues.
