The University of Southern Denmark is the only educational institution in the Nordic countries with a graduate program in clinical biomechanics (chiropractic). About half of the students come from Denmark, while the other half come from the other Nordic countries. The study program in clinical biomechanics in Odense is widely recognised and well-esteemed internationally.
The study program in clinical biomechanics (chiropractic) provides the students with the scientific foundation for future chiropractic skills.
The study program requires the ability to navigate in a very large amount of knowledge originating from many different subject fields. The new knowledge students learn are related to the day-to-day life as a chiropractor by way of skill labs and apprenticeships in clinics.
In the skill labs students are confronted with the practical skills typically required of a chiropractor, including the ability to disentangle pathological case histories and the ability to communicate with the patients in a smooth and informative fashion.
During the apprenticeships the students gain real-time experience working at a hospital or in a chiropractic clinic. Students learn to communicate with real patients as they learn to formulate and implement their examination and treatment plans.
The full study program consists of:
- a 3 year bachelor program
- a 2 year graduate program (following the BA program)
- a house year (following the graduate program)
