Physical Qualifications

Sherman College of Chiropractic requires certain physical qualifications essential to the preparation of a doctor of chiropractic. The purpose of these physical qualifications is to ensure that students entering Sherman College will be able to perform in a satisfactory manner in the classroom, clinic and laboratory settings. In addition, Sherman College expects all students to participate as both “doctor” and “patient” in all laboratory aspects of the didactic and clinical program. This includes demonstrating patient examination and adjustment procedures as well as serving as a patient for another student to demonstrate patient examination and adjustment procedures under faculty supervision.

The physical qualifications, considered a necessary aspect of the Sherman College curriculum, are as follows:

1. The student must possess sufficient coordination of the upper limbs necessary to stand independently and perform a range of chiropractic adjustments and patient examination procedures at a level of skill sufficient to meet Sherman College educational standards.

If you are unable to fulfil this requirement, please explain.

2. The student must possess sufficient coordination of the lower limbs necessary to stand independently and perform a range of chiropractic adjustments and patient examination procedures at a level of skill sufficient to meet Sherman College educational standards.


If you are unable to fulfil this requirement, please explain.

3. The student must have sufficient manual dexterity to perform safely in all laboratory and clinical settings without posing a personal threat or endangering the safety and well-being of fellow students or patients.


If you are unable to fulfil this requirement, please explain.

4. The student must have sufficient auditory senses to obtain patient histories, hear and interpret heart and lung sounds and to present findings to patients.


If you are unable to fulfil this requirement, please explain.

5. The student must have sufficient visual senses to conduct patient examinations and to record patient histories and examination findings. The student must also possess the visual sense necessary to read and interpret x-ray and microscopic findings.


If you are unable to fulfil this requirement, please explain.

6. The student must have sufficient tactile sensitivity and manual dexterity to perform patient examination, palpatory and adjustment procedures.


If you are unable to fulfil this requirement, please explain.

The applicant should consider whether he/she has the physical ability to perform these tasks. Physically challenged students may have to demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Sherman College Admission Committee, that they are able to meet the physical qualifications stated above before being admitted to the program.

If an applicant feels that he or she is not able to meet the physical qualifications, the college strongly recommends a discussion prior to enrollment as to whether the lack of such abilities might be reasonably accommodated and to what degree.

Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act, the college provides reasonable and appropriate accommodations for students with documented disabilities. Reasonable accommodations vary according to the circumstances of each case.

Review of requests will be made on an individual basis and reasonable accommodations afforded, if any, will depend on such factors as the nature and extent of the disability, documentation provided, and the requirements of the curriculum. It is the responsibility of the student to provide the college with an up-to-date evaluation detailing his or her specific physical disability.

Sherman College reserves the right to request that the student be re-evaluated by a trained evaluator from a college approved list, if the original documentation provided is not sufficient for a proper analysis of the student’s accommodation needs and/or if the college desires another opinion. Ideally, this process should be completed prior to admission to the college.

Reasonable accommodations that do not alter college curriculum requirements and/or policies will be provided for qualified students with documented disabilities. The college is not required to provide aids, devices or services of a personal nature. The college is not required to alter its curriculum or program requirements.

Do you need a reasonable accommodation to fulfill any of the above requirements?

If you answered yes, an Accommodation Request application along with the college’s Equal Opportunity and Accommodations Policy will be sent to you. You must complete and submit the Accommodation Request application along with the required documentation to the Office of Student Services by the deadline detailed in the policy. Failure to submit all required documentation, as outlined in the Equal Opportunity and Accommodations Policy may result in denial of all or part of the accommodations request, a delay in acceptance to the college and/or a delay in starting the program. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

I have read the Disability Information. I acknowledge that I have read and understand the above information. I also acknowledge that I have had an opportunity to ask questions about this information. I further certify that I have answered the above-outlined questions honestly and to the best of my ability. I understand that false answers or omissions may result in denial of admission to the doctor of chiropractic program or dismissal from the doctor of chiropractic degree program.
