About the Animal Chiropractic Course
The Postgraduate Essentials in Animal Chiropractic Course is designed as continuing education for chiropractors and veterinarians. The curriculum meets the standard of education put forth by the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA) and the International Veterinary Chiropractic Association (IVCA). Its purpose is to provide exceptional education in Animal Chiropractic to ensure that its graduates can practice with the highest standard of care.
The course consists of classroom and home study. Classroom study consists of a minimum of 210 hours of lecture and laboratory. Classroom instruction is offered in a modular format, consisting of five modules, with each module consisting of four and a half days. The modules can be taken in several formats (see Academic Calendar, p. 24 in the course catalog), completing them in anywhere from five weeks to two years. All five modules must be taken in order. Home study is required with the average student spending at least eight to ten hours to complete home assignments after each module. All class and home study progress is monitored by written and practical examinations.
Upon successful completion of the course a certificate of attendance will be issued by the College. This certificate enables the student to register for additional clinical competency examinations by both the AVCA and IVCA.
