Clinical Internship 3
During trimester 8, students have the opportunity to complete 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 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.

Community Based Internship (CBI)
This program, a Northwestern innovation, is based on a mentor
model for clinical training. It serves as a learning opportunity
for students prior to entering the T-10 associateship program.
Approximately 150 Minnesota doctors of chiropractic participate
as clinical educators.
T8 Clinic Rotations
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. Click
