Not a medical school per se, but you do need to go to an accredited chiropractic college (after getting your undergraduate degree) in order to be licensed anywhere in the U.S. or Canada.

In North America:

Before a student can attend a chiropractic college he/she must complete at least 3 years of an undergraduate university degree, but most students have completed their entire 4 year degree (eg: bachelor of science). Students with other undergraduate degrees (eg: BA) are also eligible for chiropractic college, but will find it more challenging without significant background in any of the sciences.

Following an undergraduate degree, chiropractic college last 3 or 4 years, depending on which school you choose to attend. The World Health Organization has stated that to become a doctor of chiropractic a student must attend no less than 4200 hours of schooling in a chiropractic college after their undergraduate degree. Some schools squish this all into 3 years with no summer holidays, most spread it over 4 years with 2-month summer breaks. Thus, to become a chiropractor, a student must attend a minimum of 6-8 years of post-secondary education, but most have a full 8 years, (after high-school).

In Australia:

The 3 year Bachelor of Chiropractic Science offers a solid foundation in science based disciplines including, chemistry, physics, Biology, physiology, anatomy etc. Central to these are the core teachings in Chiropractic Principles and Techniques. Students intending on practicing as Chiropractors MUST complete the Master Of Chiropractic to gain proficiency, professional recognition and registration in Australia. The master program takes 2 years full time to complete and entrance is granted only to those with a GPA 3.2 or greater in The Bachelor degree. Units in the masters include neurology, spinal orthopaedics, peripheral orthopaedics, radiology, physical rehab, pharmacology, EPT, nutrition, advanced clinical diagnosis, chiropractic principles and techniques etc.

The program at Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College is 4 full-time years and courses include microbiology, biochemistry, histology, anatomy, neuroanatomy, physiology, immunology, neuroscience, pathology, pharmacology, biomechanics, functional rehab., clinical diagnosis, orthopedics, nutrition, radiography, radiology and chiropractic principles and techniques in the first two years. The third year involves a little more basic science but primarily the theoretical application of this knowledge. The fourth year is in a clinical setting as an intern with real-life application of this knowledge.

Before a student can attend chiropractic college, he/she must have at least 3 years of an undergraduate university/college degree (eg: bachelor of science). Most students that enter chiropractic college have completed their undergraduate degree. Students with a non-science undergraduate (eg: baechelor of arts) are also eligible for chiropractic college, but most chiropractic colleges will have some prerequisite courses that are required before acceptance. These will be similar to those of a medical school (eg: chemistry, biology, biochemistry, organic chemistry, etc.). You should check with the specific school you are interested in to determine what their specific course prerequisites are.

Besides these course requirements, and the requirement for an undergraduate degree, getting into chiropractic college is not as competitive as getting into a medical school program, primarily because there are fewer applicants on a yearly basis. As such, it is possible for a student to be accepted with the minimum requirements, which will be school specific, but you should expect:

-minimum of 3 years undergraduate education

-all required prerequisite courses

-minimum GPA of 2.5 - 3.0
