Chiropractic Education

In the UK students normally study for at least four years to gain a Master’s degree as a route of entry into the chiropractic profession. In addition to the quality assurance measures inherent to the university system, the General Chiropractic Council (GCC) has a legal responsibility to assess the quality of chiropractic educational programmes. It works to ensure that the interests of patients are prioritized and that chiropractors are fit to practice. The GCC is accountable to Parliament.
