Seven years of post-graduate training is required before
obtaining a Doctor of Chiropractic degree. The education
is similar to medical school in terms of classroom
hours and basic sciences. Chiropractic education however,
places emphasis on the musculoskeletal and the nervous
system. The government designates chiropractors as
doctors; therefore, rigorous training and examinations
are required. Chiropractors must pass national and
provincial exams to practice.
