Their training includes comprehensive coursework in anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, biomechanics, clinical sciences, diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, differential diagnosis, and chiropractic-specific techniques. Extensive hands-on clinical internships prepare graduates for practice, and they must pass national and provincial board examinations to obtain licensure.
