What Are The Current Educational Requirements To Be A Chiropractor?
Today’s Doctor of Chiropractic is well educated. 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, and 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. Koop has earned a Bachelor of Health Science degree in Medical Technology, graduating summa cum laude from Duke University. She graduated magna cum laude from Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, and has a post-doctorate specialty in Sports Injuries.
