Educational requirements:

Students should take the most challenging high school courses in science, math, and English.

An associate degree in the field or completion of a specialized in-house training program is required to become a clinical laboratory technician.

A bachelor’s degree in the field is normally required to become a clinical technologist. However some employers accept an associate’s degree and extensive clinical experience as a substitute. Many technologists pursue additional graduate educational or specialized training to advance their careers in clinical chemistry, blood banking, and microbiology.

Chiropractors manipulate their patient’s spinal columns for treatment. They may prescribe specific diets or exercises, but not drugs. Chiropractors cannot perform surgery.

Most chiropractors establish a private practice and some provide home treatments. Others form a group partnership in clinics or chiropractic hospitals.
