Clinic Internship Program
Each DC student serves a full year clinical internship. NUHS
offers many exciting intership options that give you the experience
and confidence you need to prepare for your future as a
physician.
NUHS Clinics and Whole Health Centers
At National's clinics, you'll learn first-hand how to practice
chiropractic as primary care medicine under clinical supervision.
You'll have access to professionals from other specialties, our
residents and faculty clinicians, as well as have use of our
diagnostic imaging and MRI equipment.
In addition to learning clinical applications of chiropractic
medicine and proper documentation procedures, you will learn
important personal and business skills you'll need to help build
your own practice.
Your clinical experience can be completed at any one of the
clinics affiliated with National:
Illinois
Florida
NUHS Clinical Clerkship Program
Some students elect to complete part of their internship
experience through National's Clinical Clerkship Program. This
program offers students the opportunity to gain valuable clinical
experience in a private practice setting under the supervision of
approved doctors who are experienced, ethical, and successful
physicians. The supervising doctors participating in this program
are considered adjunct faculty of NUHS.
Hospital Rotations and Clerkships
NUHS also offers competitive opportunities for select DC
students to participate in exciting hospital internship
experiences. To apply for one of our hospital rotations, students
must have a minimum 2.75 GPA and apply through the Dean of Clinics.
Hospital rotations and clerkships may last from one to six months,
depending on the program and the supervising physician's schedule.
Current hospital rotations and clerkships for DC students, which
are subject to change, include:
Outreach Events
Each NUHS intern participates in community service work that can
include rewarding outreach in local sports, charitable and
educational events. You might find yourself:
Depending on your internship location, you may also provide
chiropractic care at a Salvation Army facility or
help medically underserved patients at
soup kitchens in Aurora.
At NUHS, we're not just training superior physicians, we're
training community leaders and giving back to the communities we
serve.
