CMCC’s undergraduate program is four years of comprehensive and rigorous training that leads to a Doctor of Chiropractic degree. The curriculum is presented in a series of study modules – each dedicated to a specific anatomical region – with faculty working together to coordinate content and ensure understanding is comprehensive and complete. Combining lectures, labs, case studies and clinical internship provides a smooth transition from academic knowledge to problem solving for diagnosis, treatment and management of patients’ conditions.
Year I
Students learn how the human body works in progressive study modules that focus on back/spine, head/neck, and upper limb. Each anatomical region is explored from all possible angles including anatomy, pathology, biomechanic chiropractic principles and adjustive techniques.
Year II
Students continue learning how the human body works in study modules that focus on neurology, lower limb/thorax, and abdomen/pelvis.
Year III
Students explore how the body feels pain and how to treat it, within study modules that focus on specific symptom areas – including acute onset low back pain, thoracic spine pain, upper limb pain, lower limb pain, groin/hip/pelvis pain, shoulder pain, neck pain, headache pain, and chronic low back pain. Students also develop problem solving and clinical skills by observing and participating in doctor-patient encounters.
Year IV
Students take part in two six-month internships in CMCC’s teaching clinics, on campus and in communities throughout the Greater Toronto Area, under the supervision of clinical faculty.
