Chiropractors are highly trained health care professionals, below is an outline of there education compared to medical doctors.  Both typically complete a 4 year degree prior to entering either a chiropractic or medical college, which is an additional 4 years.

During the 4-5 year chiropractic program, doctors must have completed a number of national board exams required for licensure. Several hundred hours of internship are undergone under the professional supervision of a Doctor of Chiropractic. Many doctors also undergo an externship program to further adapt themselves to actual clinical practice.

After graduation, national board exams I-IV must have been passed along with a PT board if the chiropractor wants to practice physical therapy as well, and depending on the individual state, a state board exam may have been given. Once these tasks have been met, a license to practice chiropractic will be granted.

Each state requires continuing education of your chiropractor and the majority of doctors routinely exceed the mandatory CE requirements to ensure a knowledge of latest techniques.

To put all this in perspective, the average medical doctor will attend approximately 4,250 hours of education depending on specialty and the average doctor of chiropractic has attended 4,485 hours of education.
