Choose Your Path

Traditional On-Ground Track

If you’re ready to hit the ground running, the on-ground track gives you the full, in-person Parker experience. You’ll complete all ten trimesters at our Dallas campus, starting hands-on training early and building the clinical skills you need to step confidently into practice.

DC Hybrid Track

If you perform well in a virtual environment and want extra time to prepare for a big move, the hybrid track is a smart way to start. For the first four trimesters, you’ll complete non-adjustment courses like physiology, microbiology, and biochemistry online, using innovative tools like VR anatomy systems. In trimester five, you’ll transition to Dallas, where you’ll begin hands-on adjustment courses and in-person clinical training.
