About Palmer College of Chiropractic

Chiropractic traces its roots to this campus, and that history still shapes how students learn. Palmer is known for evidence-informed study in the sciences and diagnostic reasoning, anchored by hands-on work in campus clinics and labs. Support is easy to find through the library, advising, tutoring, and wellness services.

The vibe is focused yet friendly, with classmates who collaborate and clubs, intramurals, and quick escapes to the Mississippi riverfront. Davenport's arts scene, coffee shops, and local clinics offer ways to volunteer, shadow, and build connections. Career prep runs throughout via mentoring, practice workshops, and preceptorships. And the college's role as the profession's birthplace adds a museum-like feel and a couple of traditions you remember.
