An Overview The IAVC courses are designed for professionals from both the veterinary and human chiropractic fields. The educational backgrounds of the two professions make up the foundation on which the basic course is built. Likewise, the basic veterinary chiropractic course content provides the knowledge and clinical skills to fully appreciate the advanced course content. Options for Animals International has been continuously using and improving the curriculum offered by the IAVC for the past 18 years. It is estimated that this is the curriculum which has been taught to well over 90% of all the professionals (vets and chiropractors) who have taken post-graduate animal chiropractic training worldwide. The International Academy considers this curriculum to be the gold standard in the professions today. Both the basic and advanced courses are accredited by the International Veterinary Chiropractic Association (IVCA) and the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA). The use of horses and dogs in all modules represents our commitment to both the large and small animal sides of veterinary chiropractic. Efficient use of time is also realized, due to the overlap of theoretical aspects among different species. The inclusion of several species also provides a comparative component to modules, which most students find very positive when learning animal chiropractic. Both Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) and veterinarians are present as instructors at all modules, bringing together the necessary aspects and experience of both professions. All instructors maintain active animal chiropractic practices, thereby bringing years of clinical experience to their teaching. Please click below on the course of further interest to you. Starting in September of 2007, the basic animal chiropractic course will be offered in English and German. |
