Chiropractic is the second largest health care system in the world . In the United States there are over 50,000 practictioners.There are three other professions that share the term doctor in the health care sense. Those are medical(M.D.),osteopathic(D.O.) and dentist(D.D.S.).
Our educational process is very similar to that of the M.D.,and D.O.. To earn a degree, students need to finish an undergraduate degree including courses in biology,chemistry and physics. The Chiropractic school is than an additional 5 years. From my research ,chiropractors spend more time on anatomy ,physiology,biochemistry including nutrition, biomechanics [how the body moves] and neurology while the medical school and osteopathic school has more classes in pharmacology and surgery.
The chiropractic student than has their last year in a clinical internship. The M.D. and D.O. has their version of internship.During the internship, the student is examining and treating patients under the supervision and guidance of a clinical director who has much experience as a chiropractor (mine had 30 years) and director.
When a chiropractic student graduates, earning their Doctor of Chiropractic, they must pass a state exam to get their license to practice.
