Clinical Internship 3 & 4 - Clinical Experience

Clinical Internship 3 & 4

During trimesters 8 and 9, students have the opportunity of completing graduation requirements while serving as interns in a variety of settings. Some interns provide service to the public in one of Northwestern’s teaching clinics. Others complete their internships in the offices of private practice doctors of chiropractic located around the metropolitan Twin Cities area. Students have the ability to transfer from a Northwestern Campus clinic in trimester 8 to a Community Based Internship (CBI) clinic in trimester 9 (or vice versa.)

Northwestern’s four public teaching clinics provide a rich experience for the intern in caring for patients who are suffering from a great variety of health problems. The number and diversity of patient populations of the public clinics are a unique strength of the University. Also, the student/faculty ratio is small enough to allow for close faculty guidance in developing clinical skills.

The promotion of integrated and collaborative natural and conventional medical care is a unique objective of Northwestern. As a complement to their primary clinical experience, students observe the clinical practices of chiropractors and other health care professionals such as neurologists, orthopedic and spinal surgeons, dentists, and radiologists. Through participation in this program, students come to better understand the rationale for different approaches to care, are exposed to a wider range of patient conditions, understand the means for patient management through consultations and referrals, and have the opportunity to network with specialists.
