Career Information
Historically, the chiropractic profession has been open and available to all qualified and interested persons, regardless of sex, race, or creed.
In the health care marketplace, chiropractic has been a powerful and highly competitive force. Public acceptance and consumer confidence in chiropractic is at an all-time high. As public understanding of the positive benefits of chiropractic care increases, so does consumer
demand for chiropractic services.
As a primary contact health care profession, chiropractic needs only to point to private sector demand and marketplace viability for economic validation. Thousands of American consumers spend out-of-pocket cash for chiropractic care, even when traditional medical care is available through insurance or government programs at a subsidized cost or, in some cases, no cost at all. This choice is made due to benefits received from chiropractic care.
Employment prospects for the graduates of the Doctor of Chiropractic program
Job prospects are expected to be good for persons who enter the practice of chiropractic. Employment of chiropractic is expected to grow faster than the average of all occupations through the year 2008 as consumer demand for alternative medicine grows. Chiropractors usually remain in the occupation until retirement; few transfer to other occupations.
