BS Chiro schools are 3-4 years long and you only need 2 years of undergrad. Med school is 4 years of hell plus 3 or more years of 70-80 hours a week of residency in a hospital. I went to med school with 2 chiros. As med students they were well prepared for anatomy but for everything else ie. pharm, biochem,micro etc they were equal at best.
Degree Requirements
These basic educational requirements for graduates of both chiropractic and
medical schools show that although each has its own specialties, the hours of
classroom instruction are about the same. (The class hours for basic science
comparisons were compiled and averaged following a review of curricula of 18
chiropractic colleges and 22 medical schools, based on the 1988-1989 Association
of American Medical College Curricula.)
