Students will have clinical experiences throughout all eight semesters of the program, starting with observational clinical rounds in the first term. In their second year, students will perform some clinical tasks under supervision of a licensed chiropractor. In their third year, students will eventually be in a full-time clinical chiropractic setting treating and managing patients.
