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.
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.
