脊医是致力于健康促进的主要接触医生。他们诊断，治疗并努力预防肌肉骨骼系统的机械疾病。在此计划中，您将被训练为从事日常批判性反思和终生学习的从业人员。您将检查此类疾病如何影响生物力学，神经系统和整体健康。我们的重点是人工治疗，例如脊柱调整以及其他关节和软组织操纵。解剖学，生理学和病理学科目支持体格检查，脊医的鉴别诊断和临床实践的临床科学研究。您将立即开始以工作为中心的学习，直到第四年您将在注册医生的监督下履行患者护理职责时达到终点。
Chiropractors are primary contact practitioners focusing on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Chiropractic emphasises the relationship between the musculoskeletal system and general health. It promotes self-help measures and health promotion in the management of musculoskeletal disorders. You will examine how such disorders affect biomechanics, the nervous system and health in general. The focus is on manual treatments such as spinal adjustments and other joint and soft-tissue manipulation. Anatomy, physiology and pathology courses underpin the clinical science studies of physical examination, differential diagnosis for the chiropractor and clinical practicum. You will begin work-integrated learning immediately, culminating in your fourth year when you will perform patient-care duties with supervision from a registered practitioner. At the RMIT Health Clinic at University Hill, Bundoora, fourth and fifth year students, under the supervision of registered chiropractors, treat patients using a wide variety of management approaches.
