HOW ARE CHIROPRACTORS EDUCATED?
In Canada and the US, accredited programs satisfy the requirements of the Council on Chiropractic Education of Canada (CCEC), the Council on Chiropractic Education in the United States which is, in turn, recognized by the United States Department of Education.

Chiropractic students undergo a rigorous course of study similar to that of other health care professionals. Entrance requirements are also similar. In Canada, US and UK, students are required to complete a minimum of three years of university before they are eligible for admission to an accredited program which requires four years of full-time study, including a year-long internship in the College's clinics.

In addition to the academic program, chiropractic education requires hands-on clinical experience under the direct supervision of highly-qualified chiropractic faculty. This experience includes clinical assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and referral protocols. Accredited programs include courses in anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, neurology, embryology, principles of chiropractic, radiology (biophysics and protection to clinical x-ray interpretation and diagnosis), immunology, microbiology, pathology, nutrition, and clinical sciences specifically relating to diagnosis.
