We begin our final year of chiropractic school on Monday the 3rd. I cannot believe I am at this point in my academic career! It is exciting and a bit daunting to know each day that is logged is one closer to the final.
This year will be challenging. We must complete our clinic requirements and finish our academic training. The academic side of things will be a bit less than the usual, thank goodness. While in the clinic, we will log 25 hours per week and complete as many visits as possible to get the required numbers tallied sooner rather than later.
I have heard the stress of the next quarter revolves around staying alert. Much of the time spent at the clinic is quite slow at first until your patient base grows. This leads to groggy heads. My hope is that the graduating interns transition things smoothly so that we are all set. In a way, I hope things start slow and pick up gradually so no scrambling occurs the week we get back.
Another change next quarter is a new shift at the West Burnside Clinic. Treating patients who are homeless will be very interesting and quite satisfying on many levels. I have heard many stories, good and bad, from the last class to work at the WBC.
The term will begin and end quickly just like the past 9 and before we know it, a big group of us will be walking across that stage June 18th!
All for now
