2022: Placement in Parker University’s MSHP:
“This course exposes you to a lot of different information which you may not have been exposed to. It gives you well-rounded knowledge, and if you are a person like me who dives head first into learning, you will learn a lot from this opportunity.
For me personally, it has reinforced and provided me with much more confidence in addressing the physiology aspects of patient care and how to approach athletes that want to be more active.”

2022: Placement in Parker University’s MSHP:
“I love this course and the opportunity it has provided me to extend my skill set within the sports medicine field. The research part has reaffirmed my knowledge and helped me fill in the gaps so I stay up-to-date with current trends.
It is helping me change my communication with patients to provide a higher level of care. I am a strong believer of lifelong education, as continuing education is super important to not only stay up-to-date within the ever-changing sports medicine field, however, it reaffirms the role of the Sports Chiropractor within athlete’s care.”
