Chiropractic Pediatric Careers Pediatrics has been a recognized specialty in the field of chiropractic care for over 30 years. With 1.85 million pediatric chiropractic visits per year in the U.S., demand is rapidly growing for chiropractors who are expertly trained in pediatrics. Career pathways may include private or group practice, hospitals or multidisciplinary clinics, and universitylevel faculty or researcher.

While a traditional pediatric diplomate certification and Logan’s Master of Science in Integrative Pediatrics both provide important pathways to specialization in pediatric chiropractic care, there are two key distinctions: The master’s degree program offers more than four times as much instructional content, and students graduate from Logan with an accredited academic Master of Science degree that’s recognized across professions.
