EDUCATION OF A CHIROPRACTIC DOCTOR

     All chiropractors have undergone at least six to eight years of intense college and university training. In Canada, this includes three or four years of regular college or university prior to attending an additional four years of Chiropractic College.

     The British Columbia Chiropractic Association also requires that all chiropractors licensed in B.C. complete a minimum of 24 hours of continuing education biannually. Of these 24 hours, a certain number must be in radiology and record keeping. This ensures a high standard of chiropractors who are always updating their education and skills.

     We are often asked what the difference is between the education of a Medical Doctor versus a Chiropractic Doctor. Therefore, we have listed the individual topics studied and the hours spent on each topic at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College and the University of Alberta Medical School.
