You have to go to school for _7 years_ before you become a chiropractor. And all your classes are taught by PHDs and MDs. Only 1 credit hour a year focuses specifically on chiropractic principles, the rest are the same classes MDs take.

This isn’t hard to find information :gotme:

Or it isn’t hard under stand the info either

you do NOT need a bachlors to get your chiropractor liscense, sad but true. you only need 90 quarter based undergrad hours, basically your AA

and not sure, but directly from a D.C. program, none of your classes are medically based

prereqs are actually easier and more generic than an engineering degree

```auto
<b>SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES </b>
<b>Semester Hours</b>
<b>Quarter Hours</b>
<i>English Communication and/or English Language Skills</i>
All courses must be unduplicated
Literature Courses are not recommended
6
9
<i>Psychology</i>
3
4.5
<i>Social Sciences or Humanities</i>
(Does not include mathematics, science, business, computers, engineering or physical education)

15

22.5
<b>[LEFT]SCIENCES</b>[/LEFT]
<i>Biology <i>with corresponding lab*
</i></i>Two or more unduplicated courses in biology 

6

9
<i>Chemistry <i>with corresponding lab**
</i></i>12 semester hours of Chemistry of which: 
At least 3 semester hours must be General/Inorganic Chemistry
At least 6 semester hours must be Organic and/or Biochemistry
All courses must be unduplicated
6 of the required 12 hours must include a corresponding lab
 
12
 
18
<i>Physics <i>with corresponding lab***
</i></i>Two unduplicated classes, one with a corresponding lab<i>
                                     -or-
</i>3 semester hours in Physics, with corresponding lab and 3 semester hours in one of either Biomechanics, Kinesiology, Statistics or Exercise Physiology
(Physics I and II with lab are required by certain states)
 
6

```

and the classes that you actually do take are even more of a joke

```auto

- History Taking

- The Psychosocial Assessment
- Diagnostic Studies
- Diagnosis or Clinical Impression
