Just wondering or do they go straight into the workforce?
J,
Not only isn't residence required to practice chiropractic, there is no residency for general chiropractic available. Most post graduate training consists of weekend diplomate courses with no clinical experience. However, these diplomates don't entitle the holder to any special privileges, but are mainly used for marketing to give the impression of specialized knowledge and to learn new treatment methods, much of it quackery. Very few DCs complete diplomates because they take so long. I have seen diplomates available in: pediatrics, neurology. orthopedics, rehabilitation, radiology, internist and forensics. The rehabilitation, radiology and orthopedics dips are the most evidence based. Peds, neuro and internist are very quacky in my opinion.
But these programs arent equivalent.
Clearly you are misleading readers to equate this crap with legitimate residencies; either that or you are so biased that you can't read any critical webpages and spot when they make good points against your chosen field.
