I support the regulation change that will increase the educational requirements to include a four-year degree for future chiropractors.  We need to maintain sufficiently high standards to insure that students entering chiropractic colleges have the maturity to handle the increasingly complex healthcare system. Ours is a profession in which the scientific and technological knowledge base is increasing exponentially.  I realize that there will be rare and brilliant students able to skip the requirement without losing necessary maturation and information.  It should, then be very easy for them to meet the requirement.  I do not accept arguments that this would be discriminatory against chiropractors.  We should be responsibly leading the way in requiring what is necessary for quality healthcare and our patient's welfare.
