Department Notes

The following courses are recommended for any student requesting to be placed in a chiropractic office for an externship experience:  BI 156 (Anatomic Kinesiology or equivalent)  and MA 280 (Chiropractic Clinical Skills or equivalent).

If coursework continuity cannot be maintained, the department reserves the right to have the student demonstrate his/her skills and knowledge through written and/or oral evaluations.

Because of the critical nature of the profession, deviations from professional conduct may adversely affect the patient’s well-being. Therefore, the department reserves the right to immediately remove the student from didactic, laboratory and clinical course work and/or dismiss that student from the program if the department determines that the student has acted in an unprofessional manner. Appropriate professional conducts are outlined in the course catalog.
