Chiropractors are primary contact practitioners intent on health promotion. They diagnose, treat and work to prevent mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system. In this program, you'll be trained as a practitioner who engages in daily critical reflection and lifelong learning. You'll examine how such disorders affect biomechanics, the nervous system and health in general. Our focus is on manual treatments like spinal adjustments and other joint and soft-tissue manipulation. Anatomy, physiology and pathology subjects underpin the clinical science studies of physical examination, differential diagnosis for the chiropractor and clinical practicum. You'll begin work-integrated learning immediately, culminating in your fourth year when you'll perform patient care duties with supervision from a registered practitioner.

Career prospects are excellent. Graduates work in private practice as sole practitioners or in group practices. More and more chiropractors share offices with other healthcare practitioners in multidisciplinary environments.
