Medical School vs Chiropractic School


Almost once a week I talk to someone in the allopathic field about chiropratcic and the benefits it has on the overall body. They pull out questions using scientific terms expecting me not to understand what they are talking about but in reality our curriculums are very similar. I wanted to take the time to share with all of you the difference between hours taken in medical school versus the hours taken in chiropractic school.

I can assure you that with any curriculum like the ones below you are in great hands!
