This is the same basic sciences examination other doctors, including MDs, are required to pass. He or she must participate in an internship at an outpatient clinic where he or she gets real experience in a clinical setting. After graduating from Chiropractic College, like an M.D., he or she must pass the State Board Exam in the state he or she wishes to practice in.
