This would seem to be false as shown by California Board of Chiropractic Examiners. However, a high school diploma or equivalent is required. No mention of medical school or any other educational requiremen except for chiropractic school.

Thank you for some facts and references in this anecdote filled rant thread.

I think the confusion comes from the fact that in calif., osteopathic physicians can call themselves MDs. The notion that chiropractors in California have to go to an allopathic medical school first is completely absurd.

BTW, Sen. Dennis Jones (chiro fla. state senator) is a RINO scum who opposed the cap on non-economic damages in medical liability cases. A quack who is also a corrupt politician is just too much.

plenty of good info on chiropractors at www.quackwatch.com

My friend's little brother in California was working as a bartender (while taking some pre-req courses at a J.C.) before he was admitted to Chiropractic school.
