The Sherman College graduate program in chiropractic philosophy is designed for those seeking to deepen their understanding of chiropractic. The one-year course will challenge and inspire you to learn and think more than ever about chiropractic philosophy and its relationship to the above-down-inside-out world view. The world has changed considerably in the past 100 years. Study the validity of the 33 principles even with many developments in science and technology and examine them for relevance. Re-visit the reasoning process and compare mechanistic and vitalistic thought. Evaluate their relevance and application as you listen, question and synthesize current thinking in biology, chiropractic research, adaptability, ethics and professional identity in the practical application of chiropractic philosophy.
