A Distinctive Curriculum
National’s distinctive and innovative curriculum integrates knowledge with application. By providing you with a comprehensive base in human biology and anatomy and offering you extensive hands-on training in diagnosis and treatment, we train you to think like a physician. As a National chiropractic student, you will:
- master a variety of chiropractic techniques through our Diversified Technique curriculum, which also includes training in Flexion-Distraction Technique;
- practice evaluation and diagnostic techniques with “standardized patients;”
- personally perform complete human dissection rather than by learn prosection or virtual instruction;
- explore alternative treatment methods, including nutritional counseling, therapeutic exercise, physical therapy, rehabilitation, lifestyle modification, postural retraining, and botanical remedies;
- gain valuable business expertise from experts in the field who will cover topics like how to get the funds to start your practice, how to ethically promote and market your office, how to become a member of managed care organizations, and how to work effectively with other health care disciplines; and
- experience 12 months of full-time clinical practice at one of National’s four clinics.
