I would like to register my support for the proposed regulation  requiring a bachelor's degree as a pre-requisite for licensure for Chiropractors in the Commonwealth of Virginia. This change would elevate the standards of our profession and bring us in line with the requirements in all of our neighboring states. The attainment of a bachelor's degree indicates a certain level of critical thinking and exposure to a wider  range of topics and experiences than a 2-year degree, which is often narrow in it's focus. The increased experience,  both acedemically and socially, would better prepare the physician to relate to his patients and therefore better serve the needs of the citizens of Virginia .

Respectfully submitted,

Elliot Eisenberg, DC , Richmond, VA
