Experiences and perceptions of newly graduated chiropractors from a South African university in their clinical management of pregnant women
Newly graduated chiropractors from our program felt underprepared due to limited practical training and exposure. Participants expressed a desire for enhanced practical experiences and specialized courses, emphasizing the need for curriculum improvements that bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. The findings can assist in the development of a chiropractic program that better prepare graduates for managing pregnant patients.
