Chiropractic Medicine Program
Pre-professional track
Chiropractors integrate expertise in the body's muscular, nervous, and skeletal systems with holistic medicine to help their patients achieve their health goals. With Hamline’s chiropractic medicine pre-health track, you'll get hands-on experience in the skills you need for a career as a chiropractor and support in applying to graduate programs to become a licensed chiropractor.
As you develop a pre-chiropractic skill set in your courses, you'll have opportunities to meet and learn from professional chiropractors. Also known as doctors of chiropractic or chiropractic physicians, chiropractors diagnose and treat patients whose health problems relate to the body's muscular, nervous, and skeletal systems, especially the spine. The chiropractic profession is closely tied to complementary and alternative medicine due to its focus on holistic health care. Chiropractors often treat neck, back and joint pain without prescription medications or surgery.
Prerequisite coursework
Most chiropractic programs require that applicants have at least three years of undergraduate education, and an increasing number require a bachelor's degree, according to the Association of Chiropractic Colleges. Your pre-chiropractic undergraduate studies will include a prescribed number of prerequisite courses, as defined by the field's accrediting body, the Council on Chiropractic Education. Prerequisite coursework varies by school. Please check admission requirements for the schools of your choice.
