DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC

LOS ANGELES COLLEGE OF CHIROPRACTIC (LACC)

Welcome to the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic - Southern California’s premier Chiropractic program. We are recognized for an integrated evidence-based curriculum and a hallmark of our program is the ability for student to have an early hands-on experience. This includes observation in the clinic and field doctor’s offices while developing adjusting and examination skills. For those that like to explore other specialties within a fixed curriculum we have designed courses called Selectives. Starting in the fourth term and continuing until graduation students are offered the opportunity to choose from a wide variety of Selectives. With this flexibility our students can select a specialty track to pursue their own interests. These may include but are not limited to sports medicine, nutrition, diagnosis, functional medicine and research and business skills.

Clinical rotations are an integral part of the curriculum so a lot of attention is focused on offering a variety of integrated clinical experiences. The University Health Center, located on campus is a state-of-the-art outpatient facility designed to provide such an experience. In addition, we have base clinics in student health centers at Cal State Fullerton, Cal State Northridge, and Cal State LA along with Mount San Antonio College. We also have rotations to several Community Colleges, the VA, Orange County Rescue Mission, LA Free Clinic, Being Alive Clinic, and LA City Help.
