How hard is chiropractic school and what is it like?

Question

If you have gone to a school I would really appreciate your input. Especially Life or Logan. Thanks!

Answer 1

Hey im studying in Australia. Ours is 3 yr batchelor and a 2 yr masters its based on chem, neurology, anatomy, biology, mircobiology, physics ect. The hrs are monday to friday 8:30-5:30 so its full time classes every day!! its tuff but if you really want to become a chiro you will study and tuff it out.

Answer 2

I can't speak for school but my Alma Mater is a great Chiro school.

See www.universityofbridgeport.edu for info about their chiro program.  I am not affliated with the program or anything I know it is one of the best in the country and I used to see the students studying real hard all the time.

My chiro graduated from there and his son attends now.  I think they have a sweet gig!

Good luck.

The question is how much do you really want to be a chiropractor? I saw "smart" people end up dropping out because they couldn't keep up. I saw people with no science background at all whiz through. You need to have a Bachelor's Degree first, and it doesn't matter what the degree is in. Then you go to a 4 year chiropractic school. The first two years are spent entirely in the classroom learning all the sciences, which are very heavy in Anatomy & Physiology. Then you finally get to do an internship where you take care of actual patients while finishing up your studies and taking your board exams. Take it from me, you only want to go to one school, and that's in Atlanta, Georgia. Here is their website: http://www.life.edu   It is STILL the largest and best rated school in the world. If you have any further questions, please feel free to e-mail me.

Answer 4

I have a friend in Chiropractic school in Texas. She says it is really hard but she loves it.

You must have a 4 year bachelor's degree before applying to Chiro school in the US. The Chiro program is an additional 2 or 3 years.

My friend says that she not only needs to know every little niche and ridge on every bone of the body but she must be able to identify and name them by feel while blindfolded!

In addition to learning all of the anatomy and physiology and kinesiology, etc. there is a lot of clinical practice as well.

I do not know about Logan but I know that Life is a very reputable school. It has been a while since I have checked about their program but I know that is used to be a school of straight chiropractic.
