Palmer students also have the opportunity to participate as investigators in active research studies on all three campuses.

With two campuses in Davenport, Iowa, and in Port Orange, Fla., the college is home to the world’s largest chiropractic library, the largest chiropractic student body, and the largest chiropractic research program. Palmer faculty also lead the profession, authoring the textbooks used in many chiropractic schools and producing much of the scientific articles on chiropractic.

Chiropractic and You

In your first year, you’ll study anatomy, physiology, neurology, diagnosis, chemistry, pathology and bacteriology. In your second year, you’ll take classes in chiropractic technique, x-ray, and practice management. During your third year, you’ll dedicate your time to patient care in an outpatient clinic setting and preparation for your life after graduation.
