Study the Master of Clinical Chiropractic and equip yourself with the knowledge and clinical skills to meet the competencies required by the Council on Chiropractic Education Australasia (CCEA) and therefore apply for registration as a chiropractor in all states and territories in Australia and New Zealand.
The Master of Clinical Chiropractic is designed as an extended (six-term) Masters to maximise clinical learning, which is largely undertaken in approved chiropractic clinics in the community and complemented by the availability of theoretical content by flexible learning.
Chiropractic training is the process of reaching a logical diagnosis, planning a patient's treatment and assessing the effectiveness of that therapeutic intervention. As a graduate of the Master of Clinical Chiropractic, you will develop the knowledge, skills, values and behaviours necessary to become a primary care chiropractic practitioner in the delivery of patient-centred care.
The course emphasises evidence-based practice, which is the combination of the best scientific information, clinical expertise, and patient's values and circumstances.
As a primary healthcare practitioner, you will:
I love exercising and value the human body and its incredible potential. I am greatly satisfied with my decision to study at CQU, the learning experience is very pleasant. Being part of a small class, the tutor is fully available for any clarification about the theory and the practical techniques.
