Clinical Clerkship is designed for students to develop the knowledge, skills, and behaviors necessary for professional practice. Clinical students participate in patient care and engage in other educational experiences under the supervision of a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic. Students earn credit by completing a minimum of 1170 clinic hours, written and practical assignments, and clinical skills assessments through four clinical clerkship courses taken in sequence over four terms. Students complete the required clinic hours at the University Health Center, the University’s owned and operated clinic on campus, as well as at other approved clinical sites, described further below. Students enter each clinical course as they complete course prerequisites.
Additional information on Clinical Clerkship is available through the Office of the Dean, the SCU Clinical Handbook, the Clinical Clerkship Manual, as well as the Community-Based Clinical Education (CBCE) Office.
Courses identified as *IPE are either taken with students from other programs, cover topics relevant to integrative healthcare, or are clinical courses offered in integrative healthcare settings.
