Doctor of Chiropractic
National University prepares you to practice as a primary care, first-contact physician. Today's chiropractic medicine embraces the whole health picture of each patient. That high calling and responsibility is why National University upholds the highest academic standards and provides you with the most comprehensive medical training.
Academic
Superiority
National is the only
chiropractic institution that requires a baccalaureate degree for
admission. Having the highest admissions standards and the most
rigorous program means you will train alongside other talented
students.
Our
Philosophy
Our science-oriented
Evaluation and Management curriculum provides extensive
training in evaluating a patient's history, analyzing clinical
laboratory data and diagnostic imaging, performing a physical
examination, and making a comprehensive diagnosis. This, coupled
with correct application of chiropractic technique and other health
interventions, will give you the skills you need to become a
superior physician.
Unparalleled Career
Preparation
Our unique training facilities and various clinics provide
you with access to advanced technology and a diverse population of
patients. You will learn how to perform over 100 manipulations
taught in our diversified technique curriculum
and gain a thorough grounding in flexion-distraction
technique.
Integrative
Teaching
You'll study and work side-by-side with students and professionals
from a wide variety of medical specialties. Our outstanding faculty
is highly trained and dedicated. Many of them are practicing
chiropractic, naturopathic or allopathic physicians.
Performance Benchmark
The National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) administers a board exam for Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) Licensure. Previously, the Illinois Medical Licensing Board did not require graduates seeking licensure in Illinois to take Part IV of the NBCE exam. Since July 2016, NUHS students now take Parts I, II, III and IV for licensure at various points in their program. We have provided performance charts to demonstrate the success of NUHS graduates.
