Clinical Internship 5
Students continue to serve in either a Northwestern outpatient clinic or any approved Community Based Internship (CBI) with a private doctor of Chiropractic. Interns carry out examinations, administer chiropractic care, and deliver treatment under the direction of clinical faculty or their CBI mentor, while completing their technical requirements for graduation.
Clinical Internship 6
For this experience students have the opportunity to select the doctor who will serve as their mentor. Most chiropractic programs offer an off-campus internship/externship;
however, Northwestern was the first institution to introduce this
10th-term field internship in a practicing DC’s office. The
term provides a bridge between the academic world and the real world
of private practice.
This worldwide clinical education program is available
to students who have successfully completed their clinical quantitative
requirements as outlined by the Council on Chiropractic Education and Northwestern. Attempts have
been made to copy this model, but none have been as successful as
Northwestern in volume and variety of off-campus clinical experiences.
