Each year, Canadian students enroll at University of Western States (UWS) to pursue a Doctor of Chiropractic degree that prepares them for professional practice in both the United States and Canada. With an accredited curriculum aligned to cross-border regulatory standards, UWS offers a practical pathway for students planning to complete licensure and build careers in Canadian health care systems. UWS’ Doctor of Chiropractic program emphasizes evidence-informed, patient-centered care while meeting the educational requirements necessary for Canadian Chiropractic Examining Board (CCEB) licensure. For Canadian students seeking broad clinical training and professional flexibility, this approach supports long-term career readiness across jurisdictions. Explore how UWS empowers Canadian students to turn their goals into meaningful chiropractic careers.
University of Western States has earned an international reputation and welcomes students from around the world. Over the years, many of those international students have come from Canada. Among the more recent graduates from our neighbors to the north is Mallory MacDonald from the Maritime province of New Brunswick. Like a lot of other Canadian UWS graduates, MacDonald took advantage of UWS’ Community-Based Clinical Education (CBCE), which uses a distributed network to allow students to engage in clinical immersions in many different health systems and geographic regions. MacDonald has returned to her home province to complete her preceptorship and begin her career. “I couldn’t imagine practicing anywhere else,” she says. Growing up in a small town of 600 people, MacDonald was an avid athlete until a severe knee injury in high school ended her rugby career. “I saw different physiotherapists for years, and I wasn’t getting the results I wanted,” she says. Ultimately, she found she got the best results from chiropractic care. The experience inspired her to pursue chiropractic as a profession.
