Our website allows prospective student members to search by location to find a sports chiropractor in their area, or an area of interest.
Preceptorship Opportunity
Becoming a member of the ACA Sports Council will allow you to network with other members working in the field of Sports Chiropractic. A preceptorship is another great opportunity for students, and enhances the Mentorship Program. During the last semester or trimester of school and depending on the school, the student has an opportunity to go on a preceptorship to work under a practicing chiropractor. Our website allows prospective student members to search by location to find a sports chiropractor in their area, or area of interest.
