– Graduating practice-ready chiropractors

Students can apply to complete their final quarter(s) in an offsite preceptorship with DC’s eager to mentor those near completion of their doctorate. DC’s can apply to host a senior student in their office – helping that student transition into the professional field of chiropractic care.
