The training and education endured by chiropractic college graduates is extremely thorough and demanding, similar to that of medical doctors with the exception of pharmacology and surgery.<\/p>\n
Prior to entering chiropractic college, the aspiring doctor requires 2-4 years (depending on the college attended and the state one wishes to practice in) of premed undergraduate studies. Once completed, the student must next complete 4-5 academic years of studies at a chiropractic college. This includes extensive training in anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, radiology, differential diagnosis, chiropractic adjusting techniques, biomechanics , and other health-related studies.<\/p>\n
In addition, prior to graduation each student must successfully complete several hundred clinical hours of \u201creal\u201d patient management in a clinical setting under professional supervision. Most chiropractic colleges also require students to partake in clinical externship programs which place them in actual chiropractic offices, further enhancing their clinical practice skills.<\/p>\n
Near or soon after graduation, the new doctors of chiropractic must successfully complete rigorous National and State Board examinations prior to obtaining a license to practice chiropractic. Once licensed, most states require that chiropractors receive annual continuing education to ensure that a high level of competency is maintained.<\/p>\n
