It’s here students take everything they have
learned and put it into practice. During their time
at the Centre, interns develop their technique,
communication and business skills and are given
the space to grow into a world-class chiropractor.
From their 昀椀rst year at the College, students have
the opportunity to be involved in the Centre
by observing interns and mentors, helping out
with community events and developing their
communication skills.
Supported By Experienced Mentors
The College’s chiropractic interns bene昀椀t from
expert faculty members and chiropractors who
bring real-life experience. Being exposed to
an array of mentors allows individual students
to connect with a wide range of people and
experiences.
“The New Zealand College of Chiropractic has
the highest practical experience requirements of
any chiropractic college in the world, because we
want our graduates to be able to walk into any
practice and be a successful chiropractor.”
– Dr Marina Fox, Vice President Academics
“Communication is
an important skill any
chiropractor should
have and it’s something
you can’t teach in a
classroom only. It’s
because of these
unique experiences that
students graduate as
eloquent communicators
of chiropractic.”
Dr Hannah Gaskin
Head of Department,
Chiropractic Practice
Practice Member Interactions
Interns work with people from all stages
of life, from newborn babies to the elderly
and from those needing acute care to those
looking to enhance their wellbeing.
Every interaction in the Chiropractic Centre
is viewed as a learning experience. To
graduate, interns must complete a minimum
of 500 practice member visits during their
time at the Centre, but usually go well above
this number.

Students also have the opportunity to be
involved in regular community events in the
Auckland region. These events give interns
the opportunity to talk to the public about
the bene昀椀ts of chiropractic care and offer
complimentary spine checks.
