Have you ever wondered how much education your Doctor of Chiropractic is required to
have compared to a medical doctor?

Look at these basic educational requirements for graduates of both chiropractic colleges
and medical schools. Each has his own specialties, but the hours are about the same.

In Western medicine the focus is on curing disease once it has been established. Disease
is considered a normal albeit unfortunate part of life. While the majority of physicians are
taught little about nutrition as a preventative measure, many practicing doctors are
beginning to question the old assumptions and are exploring the vast potential for
preventing disease through diet and other simple means.

This chart shows the number of hours served under study by Chiropractic students and
Medical students.
