What Are The Current Educational Requirements To Be A Doctor Of Chiropractic?
Chiropractic colleges require a minimum of four academic years of professional resident study, including clinical experience under strict supervision, preceded by a minimum of two years of college work with a curriculum concentrated in the biological and basic sciences as well as clinical disciplines. The remaining two years emphasize practical or clinical studies dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of disease with approximately half the time spent in college clinics. Dr. Aardema has earned a Bachelor of Science degree in General Science and Doctorate of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic, and is working toward a post-doctorate specialty in Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics.
