CHIROPRACTIC EDUCATION

Currently there are two schools that offer chiropractic education within Canada, the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) in Toronto, and at l'Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR). Both programs are fully accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education of Canada (CCEC) .

Students are required to complete a minimum of three years of university before they are eligible for admission to the CMCC accredited program. Approximately 90 per cent of students entering the CMCC program have completed a baccalaureate or graduate degree.

The CMCC program requires four years of full-time study, including a 12-month internship in the College's clinics. The fourth year of study is entirely clinical in nature , which entails extensive hands-on clinical training under the direct supervision of highly-qualified chiropractic faculty. This experience includes clinical assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and referral protocols.

Upon graduation, a chiropractor must successfully complete a number of National written and practical Board Exams as well as provincial ethics and jurisprudence exams in order to become licensed to practice in Canada.
