This is a time when we must take constructive actions to validate our commitment to embracing people from all backgrounds, beliefs, lifestyles and races. Giving to DEI initiatives at UWS supports students, employees, and our community.

Chiropractic Internships

The UWS Community Based Internship program is intended to enhance the clinical training of chiropractic interns in their 10th and 11th quarters who meet stringent competency requirements and applicable eligibility requirements to continue their training in an approved, private chiropractic practice in our community. Interns engage in a wide range of practice activities under the mentorship of a field-based chiropractic physician to gain valuable real-world experience and insights relative to chiropractic practice. The program is intended to enhance the learning and knowledge of the chiropractic intern, supplementing what is already provided in the doctor of chiropractic curriculum. Your gift will help UWS expand this service to our community and the program for our DC students.
