Chiropractic Education

In the Quebec province, the future doctor of chiropractic must complete a first cycle doctorate over a period of five years at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières. The program is restrained to a limited number of individuals and the conditions for admission are similar to those used by other highly considered health profession programs. The student must complete eighteen months under clinical supervision in a university setting. Afterwards, the student must write demanding provincial exams from the Order of Chiropractors of Quebec.

Only after having succeeded these exams will the doctor of chiropractic be able to welcome and treat patients in his chosen professional clinical setting. At the end of professional training, the chiropractor possesses the necessary expertise to make a chiropractic diagnosis, in order to care for the patient according to his physical condition, age and health objectives.
