Parker's Approach
Foundation of Service
Parker students believe in service. At the heart of our founder Dr. James Parker’s legacy is the firm belief in serving others with compassion and humility. Today, we honor this by continually seeking resources to support scholarships and lasting service initiatives.
Business Minded
Our well-rounded chiropractic education puts an emphasis on business training. Students learn how to set up a successful practice, calculate finances, analyze performance statistics and develop patient acquisition plans. Marketing seminars, chiropractic partnerships and dedicated business planning curriculum provide realistic experience that gives Parker graduates a distinct advantage over their peers.
Research First
We are devoted advocates of evidence-based practice. In order to support the expansion of our profession and global health and wellness, we insist on constant support of international research initiatives, funding of profession-wide collaborative efforts and sharing across the industry.
Beyond the Classroom
We are stalwarts in our community. We serve the health care field through our integrated internship and clinical curriculum. Whether it’s working with the Veterans Affairs Hospital or one of our 35 private practice partnerships, we make sure we are getting involved and giving back.
Clinical Experience
Our comprehensive classroom education is enhanced by extensive real-world, hands-on experience. Students will have the opportunity to work in a variety of healthcare settings. This distinct exposure prepares students for their future careers.
Start Online!
Parker University’s Doctor of Chiropractic program has a new track designed for students who perform well in a virtual environment and want to concentrate on their Doctor of Chiropractic science courses online for the first four trimesters.
Students in this track will begin courses on the Dallas campus at the end of the fourth trimester and will start hands-on instruction at that time. This track, like Parker’s standard DC program, positions students with the skills, hands-on hours, and requirements needed to graduate in 10 trimesters. Tuition and fees associated with this track provide the necessary technology needed for students to succeed in a distance-learning environment.
