In the United States chiropractic training involves:
1. Pre-chiropractic education that usually involves at least 90 semester hours of undergraduate education with certain requirements, i.e. a year of general Biology, a year of general chemistry, a year of organic chemistry, a year of college physics, and a semester of psychology. This can be completed usually in 2-4 years and it is recommended that you get your Bachelor's degree while doing your undergraduate because many states will require it.
2. Chiropractic schools may also require passing a CCATadmissions test and may take this into account that CCAT score along with the student's undergraduate GPA, the application, and the student's interview before accepting that student into their program.
3. Doctorate level graduate education at an approved chiropractic school. This generally entails a 3-4 year degree and includes approximately 2 years of clinical training.
4. Passing all of the NBCE board exams. Your chiropractic training also requires 3 written board exams (parts I - III), a physiotherapy board exam, and an oral practicum board exam (part IV).
5. Becoming licensed in your state. A new graduate from a chiropractic school who has completed steps 1-3 above can then apply to the state chiropractic board in which he/she plans to practice. This often involves background checks, passing a jurisprudence examination, and approval of the application.
6. Beyond basic chiropractic licensure, some chiropractors advance their education and training with post-graduate training and residencies. This is true for chiropractic radiologists, advanced practice chiropractors, chiropractic orthopedists, clinical chiropractic nutritionists, chiropractic neurologists, chiropractic internists, chiropractic sports physicians, and many more.

A chiropractic assistant or CA is a generic term for a person employed by a chiropractor to assist in chiropractic procedures and in running the office.

Some CAs are also trained to assist in setting up physical therapy modalities such as therapeutic ultrasound or interferential stimulation.

Do chiropractors know how to read MRI?
Chiropractic education includes instruction and clinical experience in reading MRI. Further, chiropractic radiologists, who study for 3 additional years following their 4 years of chiropractic school, have very extensive training in the interpretation of all forms of medical imaging. That being said, the expertise of a chiropractor or chiropractic radiologist will be in interpreting neuromusculoskeletal aspects of the MRI. For interpretation of visceral (organ) conditions that may appear on MRI, I would suggest a medical radiologist rather than a chiropractic radiologist.
