physicians and serve as primary care physicians.

being and provide effective patient care by
incorporating lifestyle counseling, nutritional advice,
exercise and rehabilitation, modern physical therapy
techniques and hands-on manipulation and mobilization
procedures. Doctors of chiropractic are widely
recognized as experts in the treatment of
musculoskeletal disorders.

to earn your undergraduate degree, UWS will award the
Bachelor of Science in Human Biology to students who
successfully complete the first five quarters of the

traditional liberal arts biology majors.
