CHIROPRACTIC SCHOOLS? Which are the best?
Question:
Answers:
I saw that some of the schools people think are great were listed.
And I think this is a totally biased choice. And that is OK, people will always think highly of the schools they attended.
I am no different. I have began at one (Life University-Georgia), which at the time was going through hell. At that time, I would NOT have recommended it to any one.
I transferred to Life West (California) and would recommend it to ANYONE. It was wonderful, taught my colleagues and I some of the best things we would need to be good Doc's.
Also, through many of the board reviews and outside conferences I met a lot of other students that I was impressed with:
Any of the Palmer schools seem to be well educated. Palmer West, certainly.
That is my take, and many, many of my friends that have come through those schools have prospered.
Not a coincidence.
1. Palmer
2. Cleveland College
3. NYCC
4. Northwestern
I graduated from Parker nearly 20 years ago. Back then, the facilities weren't great but the education was quite good. Now the facilities are quite good with resources to match. The instruction remains excellent, as I understand. Definately worth looking into if comparing programs.
All the schools have their strengths and weaknesses. I have personally worked with chiropractors from most of them and have also worked directly with most of the schools. My personal opinion, given the environment of today's healthcare world, is that New York (NYCC), So. California (SCUHS), National (NUHS), and Logan are probably the best right now. Close behind would be Western States and Northwestern.
Make sure they teach all of the techniques out there well (like using wedges and an activator instead of manual manipulation )and have good interaction with herbalists since prescribing is not in the cards if you do not also have a Md.
