Overview

About this Degree

Attendance of lectures and tutorials with corresponding laboratory and clinical work will form the basic instructional pattern. During the following two years, emphasis will be placed on preparing the student to consider the patient as a whole with particular attention to neuro-muscular-skeletal disorders. Chiropractic students at Durban University of Technology are also taught to diagnose diseases in the same way, as do medical doctors, and are trained in the taking and interpretation of X-ray films, CT scans, MRI's and bone scans. The final year (MHSc: Chiropractic) includes treating patients in our clinic. Completion of the five-year programme is followed by a year of internship.

The internship programme falls under the auspices of the Allied Health Professionals Council of South Africa and is a statutory requirement that needs to be completed before a qualified student / graduate can practice as a chiropractor
