What kind of education does a chiropractor have?

Following four years of premedical undergraduate training, chiropractors who are accepted into an accredited chiropractic college spend 4-5 academic years to obtain their doctorate.  The class-room education of a chiropractor and a medical doctor are quite similar, and many people are surprised to learn that chiropractors perform 1.5 academic years doing cadaver (human) dissection.  Chiropractors have more training in anatomy, physiology, orthopedics, radiology, and diagnosis, while medical doctors have more training in psychology and pharmacology, obstetrics/gynecology, pathology, and a few more hours of chemistry.  In fact, chiropractors complete more post-graduate classroom hours, but have different clinical requirements (medical doctors are required to perform hospital rotations).  Dr. Cassie had different clinical training than her peers, as she performed hospital rotations at Walter Reed, similar to resident medical students.
