Government
inquiries have affirmed that today's chiropractic academic training
is of equivalent standard to medical training in all preclinical
subjects. Chiropractic education includes special emphasis on anatomy,
physiology, neurology, orthopedics, pathology, biomechanics, radiology,
nutrition, and spinal manipulation. Four years of postgraduate study
and completion of an internship are required, followed by National
and State Board examinations, before entering practice. Continuing
postdoctoral education is also required to maintain current licensure
and keep abreast of the current scientific literature.
